  • A letter from Cornelia to Gaius
    • Cornelia explains to her son how he has given her as much grief as the people who killed her son Tiberius. She says she shouldnt have to worry in her old age
      • Gauis is supporting the changes in government and Cornelia states her family has been burdened. She suggests he should feel ashamed for destroying the constitution
        • She tells him to do what he likes when she is dead so she is not there to see it. Guilt trips him by suggesting when she is dead he won't even care. Asks Jove not to let his lunacy.
    • Theme: Political implactions Gauis wanted and supported the change in constitution.
    • Authorship: This is a very different source as it it the only one written by a woman herself. Much more reliable as it is from a real woman
