Scenarios about 'lex hortensia'

The Lex Hortensia was a Roman law passed in 287 BCE that made resolutions of the plebeian assembly (plebiscita) binding on all citizens, including patricians. This landmark legislation effectively ended the struggle of the orders by giving plebeians equal legislative power with the patrician-dominated senate. In alternate history scenarios, modifications to the Lex Hortensia often explore how different power-sharing arrangements might have altered the development of the Roman Republic and subsequent imperial governance.
