Cincinnatus was regarded by the Romans, especially the aristocratic patrician class, as one of the heroes of early Rome and as a model of Roman virtue and simplicity. He was a persistent opponent of the plebeians.
In 439 BC a revolt took place in Rome and the Senate again asked Cincinnatus to rule and to put down the revolt. Again he was given absolute authority. At 80-years of age he put down the revolt and as before, resigned his office to return to his small farm to live in peace.
