The Twelve Tables - CORRECT ANSWER The Twelve Tables were a law code written between 451 and
449 BCE as a patrician concession to get the plebeians to return to Rome. They were displayed in the
Roman Forum for all to see. The Twelve Tables are historically significant because they made the
patricians subject to the law.
Tiberius Gracchus - CORRECT ANSWER Tiberius Gracchus was a patrician, but he served as the plebeian
tribune in 133 BCE in the Roman capital. His goal was to redistribute public land to ease the burden of
the poor, and (theoretically) increase the army. However, he did not consult the senate, and he ran for
re-election (both illegal), so the senate arranged to have him killed in a riot. He is historically significant
because his death was the first Roman-on-Roman violence for political gain.
Lucius Cornelius Sulla - CORRECT ANSWER Sulla was a patrician and general who rose to power in Rome
during his life between 136-78 BCE. During a civil war during the 80s BCE, he wanted to have the control
of a certain command, but by law, he needed to be appointed. Instead, he used his army to march on
Rome and demand the campaign. After some fighting with Marius, Sulla got himself elected Dictatus
Perpetuo. He is historically significant because of his reforms. His reforms consisted of limiting the veto
power of tribunes, as well as enacting a 10-year waiting period between terms, restricting the
movement of generals without permission, and making the extortion court out of only senators. He
eventually resigned his position of dictator.
Julius Caesar - CORRECT ANSWER Julius Caesar was a Roman ruler between 100-44 BCE. He became
consul, and later a member of the first Triumvirate with Pompey and Crassus. After chasing Pompey to
Egypt, where he was killed, Caesar was declared dictator for life, which lead to his assassination on
March 15, 44 BCE. He is historically significant because his death marks the end of the Roman
Revolution.
