Did “gend aristocrats” emerge in the early “royal era” of ancient Rome? How did the "commoners" who appeared in the middle and later periods of this era come about? this...

Hello, sir? Clan nobles have been created.

The common people come from outside the clan, some are immigrants, and some are residents of conquered areas. Because these people are outside the old gens, curia and tribe, they are not Populus Romanus, that is, they are not authentic Roman people?

There are slaves, but few,

The so-called monarchy era refers to the late clan system period from the 8th century BC to the 6th century BC, which is the period of "military democracy" as Engels called it. Early Roman history includes the royal period.

At that time, some wealthy clans began to take advantage of their privileges to occupy public land and property, and began to possess and use slaves. Over time, they became clan aristocrats. Generally poor and bankrupt members often seek refuge under the nobles, accept their protection, and become the protected persons of the nobles. They obtained allotments of land from the nobles, but they had to serve and bear certain obligations for the nobles, and accompanied them as soldiers in wartime. In this way, two exploiting and exploited classes, the nobles and the protected, emerged within the originally equal clans. ?

At the same time, a huge class emerged outside the Roman clans-the common people. It is generally believed that they came from outside the clan, some were immigrants, and some were residents of conquered areas. Because these people are outside the old clans, curia and tribes, they are not Populus Romanus, that is, they are not authentic Roman people. ① They have personal freedom and can own real estate, but they must pay taxes and perform military service. They could not hold any official positions, neither participate in the Curia Congress nor participate in the distribution of state-owned land obtained through conquest. In a word, there are only obligations but no rights. Therefore, from the beginning, there was a contradiction between the common people and the nobles. The formation of the Roman state was actually the result of a struggle between civilians and nobles.

There were also slaves at this time, but the number was very small. Their sources were mainly prisoners of war and purchased.
