Patricians and plebeians were categories of the population in ancient Rome. The plebeians participated in the wars for the Roman Empire, but received nothing in return. The patricians, on the other hand, had good houses and lands. As a result, the plebeians left Rome, saying that they would no longer help repel the attacks of their enemies. The patricians were forced to make concessions to them, endowed them with some rights, for example, allowed marriages between patricians and plebeians, punishment was imposed for the murder of a plebeian. Also, the plebeians were allowed to choose a tribune who could challenge the decision of the Senate.
