		Their treatment of the plebs (the Roman lower classes) and equites (Roman middle classes) was abyzmal.
		The plebs were obviously enraged and saw that the only practical solution was to take matters into their own hands.
		From precedent to precedent, Roman citizen lawmaking grew from being applicable only to the plebs themselves in its 449 BC beginnings, to applying to the whole nation after approval by the Senate, to being the supreme law-giving of the nation in 287 BC.

		To deflect the plebs' rage, the patricians pomised a codification of laws to eliminate the abuses.
		However, for the purposes of minimizing patrician abuse of plebs, the Twelve Tables were hollow law -- not solving the problems that the patricians claimed they would solve.

		It was, he said, useless for the consuls to hold out threats in the hope of distracting the attention of the plebs from the proposed law; as long as he was alive they should never hold a levy until the plebs had adopted the measures brought forward by himself and his colleagues.
		If the plebs were allowed a respite from their menaces and entreaties, they would think of their own party when they went to vote, and by their united efforts would win office and power.
		At the beginning of their year of office, a resolution was adopted by the senate empowering the tribunes to bring before the plebs at the earliest possible date the subject of an inquiry into the circumstances of the death of Postumius, and allowing the plebs to choose whom they would to preside over the inquiry.

	Plebs
		The patricians had originally a monopoly, or a near monopoly, on political and religious offices, but the plebs gained status by organizing itself and naming its own officers, tribunes, and by resorting to secessio, leaving Rome en masse, a sort of general strike.
		By 287 BC the plebs was firmly integrated into the political community; for example, resolutions of the plebeian assembly, plebiscita (whence our "plebiscite") were now binding on all Romans.
		The main area in which patricians retained privileges was in religion; certain priesthoods had to be at least 50% patrician, and a few select priests had to be patrician.

	[EMLS 7.2 (September, 2001]: 2.1-32 Time for the Plebs in Julius Caesar
		The importance of acknowledging the comic tone in the encounter between Cinna and the plebs lies in the fact that "the hitherto easy assumption that Cinna is the terrified victim of a frenzied mob cannot be taken for granted; the scene is, without straining against orthodox interpretative conventions, susceptible to alternative readings" (Visser 26).
		Of course, the encounter of the plebs and Cinna is not an isolated incident.
		Moreover, the calendar which provides the interpretive framework for the plebs is neither the Republican nor Caesar's; rather, it is, anachronistically, the traditional English ritual calendar, one which was under increasing pressure at the turn of the seventeenth century but had not yet altogether been transformed.

		Genucius, a tribune of the plebs, brought before them a measure declaring usury illegal, whilst other resolutions were adopted forbidding any one to accept re-election to the same office in less than ten years or fill two offices in the same year, and also that both consuls might legally be elected from the plebs.

		One of the side-effects of the secession of the plebs was that no agricultural work had been done, and the campaign against the Volscians had left no opportunity for agriculture either.
		The result was near-famine conditions in Rome, with the plebs bearing the brunt of the shortages.
		In a fiery speech in the Senate, Coriolanus argued that here was an opportunity to pressurise the plebs into giving up the political gains they'd won as a result of their secession three years before.

	Coriolanus: Part 1/2
		This was a time of frequent warfare between Rome and the neighbouring tribes, particularly the Sabines and the Volscians, and of internal political struggle between the aristocratic patricians and the common plebs.
		Many of the plebs suffered during the wars because after their land had been raided by the enemy they had no option but to borrow money and then, when they were unable to repay the debt, they were imprisoned or enslaved.
		The patricians had no choice but to negotiate and the institution of the tribunes of the plebs was founded to protect the plebs against oppression.
