In 133 BC, Tiberius Gracchus and some of his followers were clubbed to death in Rome. The conservative mob which attacked them was led by a close relative, Sempronia and Scipio's cousin Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Serapio, who was Pontifex Maximus. At the time, Scipio was away in Spain successfully besieging Numantia, and, on his return, is said to have commented that Tiberius had tried to make himself king of Rome, and thus implied that Gracchus's death was justified by the mos maiorum.[citation needed] At the time, Scipio was credited for having arranged the murder, or at the very least, having connived at it.
