Secessio plebis
One thing I don’t really have a sense for is how much did Roman culture change over the centuries of its existence?<p>The article says there were estimated to have been five of these <i>general strikes</i> over a two century period.<p>That feels a bit like saying there were a handful of major upsets on &#x2F;r&#x2F;politics over the past couple hundred years —  the timespan seems very long!<p>Was Roman culture pretty static for a very long time?
