In this episode of Blood and Marble: Learn Spanish with the History of Rome, we delve into one of the most important struggles for justice in ancient Rome: the fight for written laws. For centuries, the patricians held absolute control over the legal system, using unwritten rules to their advantage while leaving the plebeians vulnerable to exploitation. But as inequality deepened, the people demanded change. Discover how the plebeians fought to expose the legal system’s injustices, how Rome looked to Greece for inspiration, and how the creation of the Twelve Tables transformed Roman law forever. Were these written laws a step toward fairness, or just another way to preserve patrician power? Join us as we explore this turning point in Roman history, all while improving your Spanish with clear, learner-friendly storytelling!
