The Assembly of the Centuries (comitia centuriata) was made up of patricians, equites and plebeians. It was the Assembly of the Soldiers. All soldiers voted in this assembly. It was named after the century (centuria) which was the basic unit of the Roman army, similar to a company. The soldiers were plebeians. The officers mostly were patricians. The cavalry was made up of the equites (cavalrymen) who were the second highest social rank in Roman society.
The tribal assembly in ancient Rome was primarily composed of the plebeians, or common citizens, who had the right to vote on various issues, including laws and the election of certain officials. This assembly served as a platform for the plebeians to express their interests and influence governance, particularly through the election of tribunes who protected their rights. The assembly was a crucial element of the Roman Republic, helping to balance the power dynamics between the patricians (aristocratic class) and the plebeians.
The war between the patricians and the plebeians was/is called "the Conflict of the Orders"
