Yet another thing I was pondering throughout the day. What POD could make the Roman republic far less aristocratic?
I was thinking of the Secessio plebis (Plebeian secession) of 494 BC. Instead of simply leaving and threatening to found their own city, the plebeians, who greatly outnumber the patricians, overthrow their patrician rulers and claim Rome as their own. What happens next is what I'm stuck on.
Any ideas?
