The Roman Republic (509 B.C. – 27 B.C.)
509 B.C., Romans rejected Etruscan king (monarchy) and established a republic. Power rests with the citizens who have the right to
vote for their leaders. In Rome, citizenship with voting rights was granted
only to free-born male citizens. http://www.ushistory.org/civ/6a.asp

Patricians- wealthy landowners who held most of the power: inherited power and social status
Plebeians- (Plebs) common farmers, artisans and merchants who made up the majority of the population: can vote, but can’t ruleTribunes- elected representatives who protect plebeians’ political rights.
Roman Government takes Shape
2 Consuls (Rulers of Rome)
Senate (Representative body for patricians)
Tribal Assembly (Representative body for plebeians)
The Roman Republic (509 B.C. – 27 B.C.)
A “Balanced” Government Rome elects two consuls– one to lead army,
one to direct government Senate- chosen from patricians (Roman
upper class), make foreign and domestic policy Popular assemblies elect tribunes, make
laws for plebeians (commoners)
Dictators- leaders appointed briefly in times of crisis (appt. by consuls and senate) Typical during times of War
Plebeians plea for Equality
Plebeians were the lower class, farmers, merchants, artisans, and traders.
1st Breakthrough- 12 Tables
2nd Breakthrough- tribunes- could veto, or block those laws that were harmful to the Plebeians.
Eventually Plebeians were elected to offices of high importance
The Roman Republic (509 B.C. – 27 B.C.)
THE TWELVE TABLES 451 B.C., officials carve Roman laws on
twelve tablets and hung in Forum. Laws confirm right of all free citizens to
protection of the law Become the basis for later Roman law
Roman Society
Family was the basic unit of Roman society.
Father had absolute rule in the family
Women were expected to follow husbands authority.
Roman women did however have a larger role in society then did Greek women.
Education
Girls and boys alike learned to read and write.
By the late Republic, many wealthy Romans were hiring Greeks as private tutors for their children.
Religion
Roman Gods resembled those of the Etruscans and Greeks. Like the Greek god Zeus, the Roman god Jupiter ruled over the other gods.
