one hundred and sixty seven

At this time, the city of Rome had developed to a very powerful level. After all, it was a man who liked it here. This led to the infusion of more fresh blood, and all of these new blood were very powerful warriors. Of course, this was also

More women have come to the city of Rome. Maybe they just want to live a more open life? Maybe they also want to see men making big moves for them? But no matter what these women are for, they just came to Rome anyway.

city.

However, the reason why the city of Rome is so powerful is undoubtedly due to the joining of more powerful men. These people may have been thieves, liars, murderers, vagrants, or even people with mental problems, etc. But we only need to understand that the city of Rome

At present, it is still dominated by men, and we have previously analyzed what we men are like, such as: ambitious, aggressive, and possessing a bullying mentality, and we are willing to take practical actions for these.

.

So in the process of the development of the city of Rome, it has been more than two hundred years so far. Many people in the city of Rome have also formed many problems in the city of Rome due to their long-term residence and even the inheritance of wealth from generation to generation.

system, as well as the distinction between rich and poor, noble and humble. Even a Roman city had slaves, and they would often attack other tribes, even some on the edges of the empire! Let’s learn about it together now.

It is currently one day in 494 BC. A group of Romans look very angry. They are currently carrying their own weapons. This is not difficult to understand. After all, the Romans are bandits in our today's concept, so they carry them with them.

It is normal to carry weapons. But they also carry some of their daily necessities, and this seems a little abnormal, because whether they are going to war or for other reasons, generally speaking, it is

They would not bring their daily necessities with them, so the current situation really seemed a bit abnormal, and these Romans just walked towards the Holy Mountain carrying their weapons and daily necessities.

This group of Romans were also chatting while walking. One of the very angry Romans said: Humph! It’s so infuriating! What’s there to miss about a city that doesn’t treat its defenders as citizens? We just want to leave here.

Then find a new life!

Another even more angry Roman answered: That's right, we are all fighting desperately to defend Rome, but all the spoils of war have been taken away by those nobles! When we were fighting bloody battles on the front line, these nobles

They are all sitting at home and enjoying themselves! Why are all the spoils in the end theirs!

Then some of the other Romans also answered: Let's go! Let's leave Rome! If foreign enemies invade in the future, let the nobles defend themselves! And after these Romans finished speaking, they joined the previous ones.

Those few people, as well as some other Roman civilians, also joined the team, and then they all began to leave Rome.



And what is going on with the current situation? It turns out that after hundreds of years of continuous development in the city of Rome, a small number of civilians have risen to become nobles, but the largest number of people in Rome are civilians. Although

They are civilians, but they are all war maniacs and very powerful people. Moreover, the Roman legions formed by civilians to launch foreign wars and defend Rome are all based on civilians.

The system implemented by the city of Rome at this time was a citizen military system, which stipulated that every civilian must join the army. Therefore, Rome also expanded in order to expand, which led to constant foreign wars. Civilians were bloody and killed enemies on the battlefield all year round, and a lot of bloodshed and sacrifices were made.

.However, the civilians' fields were left unattended to cultivate, and they could not pay the taxes they were supposed to pay, and owed a large amount of debt, which eventually led to the bankruptcy of many warrior families. But under this situation, the Roman nobles

They tried every means to exploit the civilians and make them bankrupt, so that they could occupy the land, and even completely turn the civilians into slaves.

But the civilians in Rome were different from the civilians in other city-states or empires, so finally the civilians couldn't stand it anymore, and they began to leave in groups. This led to the scene we talked about at the beginning. A large number of civilians

The evacuation of Rome weakened the armed forces of the city of Rome. When the Gauls in the north learned the news, they immediately sent their army south to prepare to attack Rome.

Because the Romans had bullied the Gauls before, the Gauls had long hated the Romans! Another thing is that the Gauls generally did not dare to attack Rome. After all, Rome's military power was too powerful, but now

But it is different. The city of Rome has lost a large number of warriors, and the remaining nobles cannot fight, and are extremely rich. At this time, if we do not annihilate the nobles of Rome and rob their wealth, we will have to wait.

When?

But the news that the Gauls sent their troops south to attack Rome was known to the nobles in Rome, so all of a sudden the nobles in Rome began to panic and tremble with fear, because the nobles in Rome understood

, they will definitely die very ugly when the Gauls come! But all the gold and silver wealth they have is in the city of Rome, and it is impossible to take it away in a short time. Even if it is taken away, where will they go?

?It would be strange to carry so much gold and silver treasure and not be robbed and massacred by other bandits while walking on the road.

Therefore, the Roman nobles gathered to discuss, and finally sent representatives of their nobles, and then found the common people to discuss and negotiate with the common people who had left Rome.

After many negotiations, the common people and the nobles reached an agreement: the Roman high-level officials set up tribunes and a plebeian assembly. Roman tribunes must be elected from among the common people, and their duty was to protect the rights of Roman common people. And the tribunes

The person and sanctity of the people are inviolable and cannot be harmed by anyone. The power of the tribunes is extremely powerful, and they have the right to attend Senate meetings and veto anyone's judgments and proposals.

The nobles had to agree to this kind of agreement, because if they didn't agree, they would have to die! Once they died, everything would be empty talk and there would be nothing. So this led to the common people returning to Rome again, while the Gauls got

It is reported that the Roman civilians have returned to the city of Rome. Now they dare not attack rashly, because the Roman soldiers are joking with them?

Moreover, after this incident, Roman civilians also gained the right to serve as municipal magistrates and legion commanders. At this time in Rome, the civilian assembly was only effective for civilians at first. Eventually, after several battles, the nobles also fought for themselves.

Protect, only by protecting the city of Rome first can they save their own lives. This way they can also protect the wealth of their nobles, and then allow their nobles to continue their exploitation. So in the end the nobles admitted that the resolution of the plebeian assembly was effective for all Romans.

.

We can also say that when we talk about this, in fact, the evacuation of Roman civilians from the city of Rome at this time has been initially solved relatively well.

In Rome at this time, we can also say that although the rights of the common people have been guaranteed to a certain extent, in real life, the nobles still violated the interests of the common people, which still happened very frequently. Once the common people and the nobles

If some kind of dispute occurs, it must be dealt with according to the traditional customs of Rome, that is, the law. However, the right to interpret the customs is in the hands of the Roman nobles, so the nobles can interpret it at will, and even use black and white.

Putting things in plain terms and confusing right and wrong, no matter how you understand it, is very detrimental to civilians.

Therefore, in 462 BC, the Roman tribunes suggested after many considerations that they should compile a written code, similar to the previous "Code of Hammurabi", and then build a fair legal system.

However, this proposal must have been opposed by the Roman nobles, because in this way the interests of their nobles, and even the right to confuse right and wrong, would be lost.

But we have to understand that the civilians of Rome are indeed different from the civilians of other city-states or empires. There is no such thing as belief in God or not. There are only concepts such as force, money, and even women. They are a group of people who live on the edge of a knife.

Who is afraid of whom, right?

So after the nobles rejected the tribunes' suggestion, the Roman civilians chose to withdraw from Rome, and then waited for people from other city-states to attack the city of Rome and drive out all the nobles inside.

But at this time, Roman civilians still missed Rome. After all, there is no such good city-state like Rome on this earth. Therefore, the nobles and Roman civilians finally conducted many negotiations.

, In fact, the nobles of Rome were very anxious and very scared. If anyone from an empire or city-state attacked Rome at this time, they, the nobles, would only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and how to scheme and exploit the common people.

, their nobles are really useless except for these two abilities, so these Roman nobles, as far as other city-states and even the warriors of the empire are concerned, they are just a group of meat on the board, and they can use knives at will.

Cut.

It was the Roman nobles who realized their current situation, so after many negotiations with the civilians who evacuated again, the Roman nobles chose to save their current wealth and lives.

Compromise. Because the Roman nobles believe that they can only save the city of Rome at present, and then protect the status of their nobles, and then use tricks to exploit the common people again in the future, so we can also understand that in fact, these Roman nobles are simply
