Secessio plebis (withdrawal of the commoners, or secession of the plebs) was an informal exercise of power by Rome's plebeian citizens, similar in concept to the general strike. At this time, the Roman city-state was governed by two consuls and the senate, which performed executive and most of the legislative functions of Rome. As part of the process of establishing the Twelve Tables of Roman law, the second decemvirate placed severe restrictions on the plebeian order, including a prohibition on the intermarriage of patricians and plebeians.[11][12] Gaius Canuleius, one of the tribunes of the plebs in 445 BCE, proposed a rogatio repealing this law. Threatening a radical escalation of the conflict between the plebeian assembly and the patrician senate.[16][17] A compromise was instead suggested that military tribunes with consular power might be elected from either order.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2038.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2038.txt
