    Salve Favoni

    Here are a couple examples of inscriptions found of boundary stones for Gracchan plots:

    Degrassi, Inscriptioes Latinae Liberae Ri Publicae 0046 =: CIL 10, 03861 = CIL 01, 00640 (p 725, 739, 834, 923, 924) = ILS 00024
    Provincia:: Capua, Campania

    K(itra) k(ardinem) XI s(inistra) d(ecumanum) I / C(aius) [Se]mpr[on]iu[s Ti(beri) f(ilius) Grac(cus)] / Ap(pius) Claudius C(ai) f(ilius) Polc(er) / P(ublius) Licinius P(ubli) f(ilius) Cras(sus)/ IIIvir(ei) a(gris) i(udicandis) a(dsignandis)


    ILLRP 00468 = CIL 10, 03760 = CIL 01, 00641 (p 725, 739, 834, 923, 924)
    Provincia: Atella, Campania

    C(aius) Sempronlius [Ti(beri)] f(ilius) / Ap(pius) Claudius C(ai) [f(ilius)] / P(ublius) Licinius P(ubli) f(ilius) / IIIvir(ei) [a(gris) i(udicandis) a(dsignandis)]

    More inscriptions from the ILLRP, CIL and ILS can be found at the U. of Frankfurt site. The first inscription above notes a location, but not necessarily the size of the plot. The decumanum refers to the fee for using the land. The second inscription only tells us there was a plot set up by the commission.

    Gaius Gracchus did set up the colonies of Neptuna (near Tarentum) and Minervum (Scolacum, Bruttium). These may have been part of the land commission's work, but I am not certain.
