  6. Power in Numbers The Plebeians were a such a huge chunk of the population that they could vote almost anything out, or rebel in discontent. Such in the establishment of the Twelve Tablets, in which a Plebeian representative voted out a law that prohibited the marriage between Plebeian and Patrician

  7. From Professor Galinsky “ One key constituency for Augustus was the Plebeian population of Rome – and that is basically the city mob.” The main significance of Plebeian advancement would be how it shows the need for balance in government to make the people happy and make the state stable.
