1- Tribunes

The tribune of the plebs (in Latin, tribunus plebis) was a position of the old Roman republic that was chosen by the citizens who composed the plebs.

The tribunes of the plebs arose to defend the plebeians from the consuls, the senate and the power of the patricians as a whole.

2- Citizen assembly

Roman assemblies were a group of essential institutions in the government of Ancient Rome and, together with the Roman Senate, the main organs of political representation of the Populus Romanus ("Roman people"). The assemblies had very broad powers, including retroactive laws.

3- Patricians

In Ancient Rome, the social order of the patricians was composed of the descendants of the thirty primitive curias. The name comes from pater (father), in reference to the founders, that is, to the first parents of Rome. They were the senators par excellence and were part of the primitive nobility of Rome.

4- Governor

A Roman governor was an elected official or appointed to be the principal administrator of Roman Law in all parts of one or more of the many provinces that constituted the Roman Empire.

The governor of a Roman province had many tasks to fulfill during his administration. First, he was responsible for taxes and the customs administration. Depending on the basis of his office, he was also the personal agent of the emperor, or the financial agent of the Roman Senate, and had to supervise local authorities, private tax collectors, and impose taxes. A governor could mint coins and negotiate with rich institutions such as temples and private lenders who could anticipate money. The governor was also director of accounting for the province. He inspected the books of major cities and various operations as well as supervising the construction of large-scale projects in all parts of the province.

5- Accountable

In Rome, accountability referred to the process in which the Patricians could monitor and evaluate the responsible actions of the public servants of the Republic.
