About this listen

In this episode of Blood and Marble: Learn Spanish with the History of Rome, we explore a turning point in Roman history: the First Secession of the Plebeians. Tired of injustice, Rome’s lower class takes bold action, leaving the city to demand their rights and forcing the patricians to listen.

Learn about the creation of the Tribunes of the Plebs, a new political office that gave the people a voice, and the fragile compromises that followed. Discover how this pivotal event set the stage for the first written laws of Rome, the Twelve Tables, all while practicing Spanish with a clear, learner-friendly approach!
