Tiberius Gracchus
Regardless of whether the rumor of incest had taken hold, one tribune did seek confirmation from Sempronia that Lucius Equitus was indeed the direct descendant of her brother. It was demanded that Sempronia kiss Lucius Equitus in the Forum to provide proof of his claim as only surviving child of Tiberius Gracchus. The general public was elated at the prospect of Tiberius Gracchus having a surviving descendant, but Sempronia would not confirm the rumor, indignantly denying it. Now, it is widely accepted that Lucius Equitus was not related to the Gracchus family in any way.
