Best Answer

The plebeians were not unhappy about all of Rome's wars and her expansion. They were proud of Rome's military success and the spoils of war (part of which were distributed to the soldiers) were an incentive to fight. The wars they were unhappy about were those in Spain. This is because these wars were endless and the Romans suffered tens of thousands of casualties. The plebeians farmers who formed the backbone of the Roman army did not want to go to a distant land and be exposed to a high risk of dying.

What 3 groups fought for control of the region of Rome?

There were more than three groups. There were the Romans themselves, other Latin cities, the Sabines, the Aequi and the Volsci. At times there were also conflicts between Rome and the nearby Etruscan city of Veii. These were not really fights for control over the region. The other Latin cities and the Sabines fought to check Rome's expansion into the area, rather than to gain control. The Aequi and Volsci settled to the south of Rome and Latium (land of the Latins) and then carried out raids into Roman and Latin territories, rather than fight for control. The only fights over control were the last wars between Rome and Veii. This was a struggle for control over the river Tiber area, rather than for the region. It ended with Rome destroying Veii in 396 BC.

What are roman plebeians?

All those who were not Patricians were Plebs (from which the Anglicised word Plebeian). The Patricians were descended from the early important families, usually claiming descent from a god or goddess. There were Plebeian branches of mainly Patrician families. It was a matter of descent and keeping the bloodline pure. There were rich and important Patricians (eg Sulla, Julius Caesar) and poor and unimportant Patricians. There were rich and important Plebs (eg Pompey, Cicero) and poor and unimportant Plebs. As a result of the civil wars and proscriptions of the 1st Century BCE, the Patricians ceased to be important numerically or politically, and it became an honorific but of no real significance.
