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 https://whe.to/ci/1-25975-en/
