Senatus consultum ultimum
edit... that both Gracchi brothers were slain based on a decree known as senatus consultum ultimum?
- Reviewed: Walter Alston
5x expanded by Zwerg Nase (talk). Self-nominated at 21:26, 18 May 2015 (UTC).
5x expansion verified, looks well written and sourced, etc. But the article explicitly makes the case that Tiberius Gracchus was slain outside the authority of this decree. So is the hook really accurate? โDavid Eppstein (talk) 00:01, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
- Well, there was a SCU against him and it was acted upon it, just not by the person the decree was directed at. An alternative hook could be:
- ... that both Gracchi brothers were slain after a decree known as senatus consultum ultimum was passed against them?

Ok, good to go with alternative hook. โDavid Eppstein (talk) 18:08, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

- Not at this point. You should get an automatic talk page notification when this finally appears in the DYK section. โDavid Eppstein (talk) 22:28, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
