What promoted the Romans patricians to compromise with the plebeians when the plebeians seceded from Rome?
Many of the plebeians who seceded were soldiers. In the run up to the secession the people had resorted to refuse to join the army when soldiers were enrolled because the Roman state was not addressing their demands. Eventually an official managed to get the people to enrol on the promise that their grievance (indebtedness) was addressed by the state. After a war, the senate refused to do so. The soldiers seceded. This was a serous threat as Rome was often under attack in that period. It was a threat to Rome's security. Moreover, the secession might also have caused unrest among the people who stayed in Rome.
What can you conclude about the relationship between roman patricians and plebeians before 490 bc?
Before 490 BC the patrician aristocracy monopolised political power and exploited and abused the plebeians (the commoners. In 495 BC, this situation lead to plebeian disaffection and there was the beginning of a 200-year conflict between patricians and plebeians (the Conflict of the Orders). The patricians owned large landed estates. They secured the labour of small farmers who were struggling to make ends meet through debt bondage. This was an arrangement whereby the debtor pledged his person as collateral should he default on his loan. The debtor then had to work for the creditor. This often led to the abuse of defaulting debtors, who were often imprisoned and tortured and sometimes sold as slaves. In 495 BC the plebeians held protests against the abuse of defaulting debtor and demanded that the Roman state address this issue. Since the state refused to act, the plebeians seceded en masse. They left Rome and went to a nearby hill and said that they would stay there if their demand were not met. When a compromise was reached, they returned to Rome, but politically the secession continued. The plebeians formed a state within the state. They turned the Aventine Hill into their jurisdiction and made their decisions there independently from the Roman state through their assembly, the Plebeian Council. They were very dissatisfied with the Roman state and lost all faith in it.
Why did they force the patricians to give plebeians the rights they demanded?
The plebeians had an organised movement. Plebeian agitations were a constant feature in the Early Republic. The plebeian movement originally created a state within the state. They seceded in 494 BC. They left Rome en masse and threatened to establish a new city to the northwest of Rome. They did so out of disaffection with the patrician-controlled Roman state which had failed to respond to their demands for protection against the abuse of defaulting debtors by creditors who imprisoned them, tortured them and sometimes even sold them as slaves. The secession also gave more effectiveness to the plebeian's main weapon in the early days: the refusal to join the army. This was a serious matter because at that time Rome was under constant attack by three of its neighbouring peoples. The plebeians created their leaders, the plebeian tribunes, and assembly, the plebeian council. When they returned to Rome, they turned the Aventine Hill into a something like a separate state. Here they made their own decisions independently from the consuls and senate. In the early days direct action was what gave the plebeians bargaining power. Over time, more and more concessions were made. It has to be noted that there were differences in the interests of the rich plebeians who led the plebeian movement and the poor plebeians. The rich plebeians wanted access to the offices of state which were the preserve of the patricians. The poor plebeians had economic grievances. The rich plebeian leaders won their struggle with the help of liberal patricians who supported reform. The rich plebeians were co-opted into the establishment. This led to the creation of a patrician-plebeian oligarchy. At this point the rich plebeians turned their backs on the poor plebeians. The economic grievances of the poor plebeians were not addressed properly.
What was the conflict of ordersnand what did the plebeians do in protest?
The Conflict of the Orders was between patricians (the aristocracy) and plebeians (the commoners, both rich and poor). It had two strands. It started with a rebellion of the poor plebeians whose grievances were economic, primarily indebtedness, the interest rates of loans and insufficient land for the peasants. The rich plebeians became the leaders of the movement and also had another agenda: power-sharing with the patricians. The patricians monopolised the seats of the senate and the consulship. Over time the rich plebeians obtained access to the consulship and other offices of state which had been created in the meantime. Through this they also gained access to the senate as former senior officers of state automatically gained a seat in the senate. They also gained access to some of the priesthoods. Thus the rich plebeians were co-opted into a patrician-plebeians oligarchy. They also were given equite (cavalryman) status. The equites were the second highest layer of society. At this point the rich plebeians turned their back on the poor, whose problems were never addressed properly. There were many agitations at the forum during this conflict. This was destabilising enough. However, main bargaining chip of the plebeians was the threat to boycott the levy. This was very serious during the early stages of the conflict because Rome as often under attack by neighbouring peoples. Another method was to disrupt the electoral process. Two plebeian tribunes (leaders of the plebeian movement) managed to block the election of the consuls for five years (375 BC to 371 BC) to put pressure to allow the plebeians to gain access to the office of the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic and the army). The plebeians also seceded four or five times. They left the city en masse, went to nearby hills and threatened to found a new city if their demands were met.
Why were the tribunes added to the republic?
During the period of the Roman Republic, the plebeian tribunes were the representatives of the plebeians, the commoners. They were elected by the plebeians, presided over the Plebeian Council and protected the plebeians from arbitrary action by the officers of state. In the Early Republic they were the leaders of the plebeian movement in the period of the 200-year Conflict of the Orders between patricians (the aristocracy) and plebeians. The rich plebeians wanted power sharing with the patricians who monopolised power. They eventually succeeded in gaining access to the consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic), the other offices of state which were created as the Republic developed and some of the priesthood, thus attaining power-sharing. The grievances of the poor plebeians were economic and were not addressed properly. In the late Republic the issue of poverty became a political hot potato. There was strife between the popularis faction which championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms to help them and the optimate faction which favour the aristocracy and was opposed to the reforms. At times this could spill into violence and even civil war. The plebeian tribunes and the Plebeian Council played an important role in this. There were also the military tribunes who were wealthy young men who aspired to a career in politics and civil service. They were elected as administrative officers of the high military commanders as the first step of their career.
