The two fundamental ideas of the new policy to reunite the territories under the power of Rome, so far as they were Hellenic, and to colonize them, so far as they were not Hellenic had already in the Gracchan age been practically recognized by the annexation of the kingdom of Attalus and by the Transalpine conquests of Flaccus: but the prevailing reaction once more arrested their application.
