In 509 B.C., Rome had overthrown the cruel Etruscan monarchy and established a republic. It was still just one of many small cities on the Italian peninsula. By 133 B.C., the town had gained control of all Italy, and had conquered foreign lands as well. Roman armies won victories in Spain, Greece, Macedonia, Asia Minor (present day Turkey), and N. Africa.
The government in the early years of the Roman Republic had 3 parts —The Consuls, The Senate, and The Assembly. Each branch had various powers. The Republic officially lasts until 27 B.C.

The 12 Tables
|
Before the 12 Tables, the Roman Republic had laws but they were not written down and they were very unclear. Many plebeians felt that this was unfair because they did not even know that some laws existed. The 12 Tables was the first established legal code that the Roman Republic created. The laws were written in stone, literally, so that they could not be changed and everyone saw them. Because these ancient laws provided social protection and civil rights for both the patricians and plebeians they are often seen as influencing modern legal systems today!
