TARQUINIUS SUPERBUS
plebians badly treated, lots of labour (says D, livy disagrees) but extends circus makimus and makes more temples + finishes cloaca maxima. this can be seen as worse bc the plebs had to build a lotta this

VALERIUS PUBLICOLA
he makes laws to guarantee fair prices for da plebs
- gives plebs right to appeal against unfair magistrates
-gets name 'publicola'
or 'friend of the people'.

plebs NOT happy, could come home de war and be homeless and broke. this is made by livy+ could be made up

DECLINE OF PATRON-CLIENT RELATION
these relation ships between plebs+ pats= strained bc no place for plebs to voice concerned, pats didn't like the plebs wanting land
