to respond to problems, not an ideal
government

Roman senate- a select group of about 300
patricians who served life terms. At first all they
did was advise officials but by the 3rd century
they began to enforce laws
Plebeians and patricians had conflicts they
were forbidden to marry each other. Plebian
did not like this because they thought the
deserved both political and social equality
because they were soldiers.
Law

Hannibal brings the war to Rome crossing the Alps
with 46000 men lots of horses and 37 elephants.
