the conflict of the orders, also referred to as the struggle of the orders, was a political struggle between the plebeians (commoners) and patricians (aristocrats) of the ancient roman republic lasting from 500 bc to 287 bc, in which the plebeians sought political equality with the patricians. it played a major role in the development of the constitution of the roman republic. shortly after the founding of the republic, this conflict led to a secession from rome by plebeians to the sacred mount at a time of war. the result of this first secession was the creation of the office of plebeian tribune, and with it the first acquisition of real power by the plebeians.

the distinction between patricians and plebeians in ancient rome was based purely on birth. although modern writers often portray patricians as rich and powerful families who managed to secure power over the less-fortunate plebeian families, plebeians and patricians among the senatorial class were equally wealthy. as civil rights for plebeians increased during the middle and late roman republic, many plebeian families had attained wealth and power while some traditionally patrician families had fallen into poverty and obscurity.
