Etruscan kings ruled Rome during this period. During this period, Rome was divided into patricians and plebeians.
-
The patricians didn't like the ruling of Etruscan's and rebelled against them. They created a senate and consul in which only patricians could participate.
-
The patricians government never benefited the plebeians. Tired of this, the plebeians went to a nearby hill and they would come back if the patricians would met their demands.
-
The Plebeians asked the Patricians for the laws to be written in twelve tablets so they couldn't change the rules. They agreed in 451 BC.
-
In this year, Plebeians finally could make laws for all Roman citizens and with that they gained equality.
