Clues

  • didn't rlly care abt plebs, they weren't his bros?= not his problem (7)
  • gave the people more say in public affairs, but i doubt that the plebs got THAT much 'say' (5, 7)
  • he gave homeless men farms and built farms. (6, 9)
  • he gave some homeless men land to build a farm, and built temples for the people (4, 9)
  • 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'. also makes a lawy saying plebs didn't have to do stuff for the 1st yr of the upcoming war. (8, 9)
  • more festivals and games, bigger forum, cloaca maxima (hygiene) (9, 7)
  • 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 (10, 8)
  • plebs NOT happy, could come home de war and be homeless and broke. this is made by livy+ could be made up (13)
  • servian reforms- census, new voting, bigger city, temple of diana, tackling plebian poverty caused by warfare and debt (7, 7)
