However that is not to say that they didn't know and use their power against the male legislators. Two public instances that come to mind are the women demonstrating against the Oppian laws and the demonstrations by the women against the taxes that the second triumvirate tried to impost on them. The girls won in both instances.

Spartacus was a slave in the Roman Empire who began a rebellion in 73 BC. He disagreed with the unfair treating of slaves in the Roman world and fought for better rights.
