The Secession of the Plebs (secessio plebis) refers to a series of general strikes in the early history of the Roman Republic, when the plebeians – or commoners – left the city en masse and set up camp on the nearby Sacred Mountain, to protest their treatment by the ruling patrician class. #History #RomanRepublic #Plebeians #AncientRome #ClassConflict #Patricians #HistoryFact whe.to/ci/1-25975-en/

Plebeians were members of the plebs, the hereditary social class of commoners in ancient Rome. Their exclusion from political power by the patricians, who claimed to be the descendants of the first senators, led to Conflict of the Orders, a centuries-long struggle for equal political rights for plebeians, which saw the creation of the Twelve Tables and other laws.
