The distinction between the noble class, the patricians, and the Roman populace, the plebeians, existed from the beginning of Ancient Rome.[7] This distinction became increasingly important in the society. The assembly separated citizens into classes, however, the top two class, Equestrians and Patricians, were able to control the majority of the vote.[15] This meant, that while the plebeians were able to vote, if the patrician classes voted together, they could control the vote.[15] Ancient Rome, according to Ralph Mathisen, author of Ancient Roman Civilization: History and Sources, made political reforms, such as the introduction of the Council of the Plebs and the Tribunes of the Plebs.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4317.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4317.txt
