Plebians

the less privilaged group of Roman society. They began as being mostly powerless until they achieved slight political equality with the creation of thee tribune position. Can be adopted into Patrician families. Counts for a majority of the Roman population (85%), however they only collectively have 1 vote in the Roman voting system. Why: Struggle of the Orders- Plebians put enoguh pressure because of thier numbers that they were able to gain power politically from long being supressed by the Patrician in the Struffle of the Orders in the 5th and early 4th centuries
