Question

A restriction on marriage for these people was lifted by the Canuleian Law. To mollify these people, Aulus Postumius promised to build a temple to the Aventine Triad. By restoring a “Servian” system of government, Sulla nullified these people’s political power in the Centuriate Assembly. (-5[1])These people gained legislative authority through the Lex Hortensia (-5[1])after the last instance (10[1])of a political tactic (10[1])frequently used by them. The Senate targeted Gaius Gracchus (10[1])because of his advocacy for this group. (10[1])The Twelve Tables were created after these people seceded en masse to the Mons Sacer as part of the Conflict of the Orders. (10[1])These people were represented by a namesake elected Tribune. For 10 points, (10[1])name these common people of the Roman (10[1])Republic, contrasted with patricians. ■END■
