was much easier to unify than Greece. Unlike Greece, Italy was not broken up
into small, isolated valleys.

republic would keep any one individual from gaining too much power.

The most powerful body of the republic was the senate. Its 300 members were all
patricians, the landowning upper class. The senate elected to consuls to supervise the
business of the government and command of the armies. They to serve only one term.

Cincinnatus was seen as a model dictator. He organized the army, led the Romans to victory
over the attacking enemy, attended victory celebrations, and returned to his farmlands –
all within 16 days.

Plebeians, the farmers, merchants, artisans, and traders who made up the bulk of the
population, had little influence in government. Their efforts to share power shaped politics in
the early republic.

Plebeians had argued that the republic’s laws were not written down and accessible to all. The Laws of the Twelve Tables set up in the Forum (marketplace) made it possible for
plebeians to appeal judgments handed down from the patricians.

Over time, the plebeians gained the right to elect their own officials , called tribunes, to protect their interests. The tribunes could
veto, or block, laws that they felt were harmful to plebeians. Eventually, plebeians were also
chosen as consuls to the Senate.

about 5,000 men.

Roman armies consisted of citizen-soldiers who fought without pay and supplied their own weapons. Roman citizens made good soldiers because they were brought up to value loyalty, courage, and respect for authority.

To ensure success, Roman commanders mixed rewards with harsh punishment. Young soldiers who showed courage in action won praise and gifts. If a unit fled from battle, however, 1 out of every 10 men from the disgraced unit was
put to death.

Rome generally treated defeated enemies with justice. Conquered peoples had to
acknowledge Roman leadership, pay taxes, and supply soldiers for the Roman army. In
return, Rome let them keep their own customs, money, and local government.
