A quick definition of plebs:

Term: PLEBS

Definition: In ancient Rome, there were two groups of people: the patricians (wealthy and powerful) and the plebs (common people). The plebs were the regular citizens who were not part of the rich and powerful families. They were the majority of the population and did not have the same rights and privileges as the patricians.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Plebs (pronounced plebz) is a Latin term used in Roman law to refer to the common people in ancient Rome. It refers to the general body of citizens, excluding the patricians who were the wealthy and powerful elite.

Examples: In ancient Rome, the plebs were the farmers, artisans, and merchants who made up the majority of the population. They were not allowed to hold political office or participate in government until they gained more rights through social and political struggles.

Another example of plebs can be seen in modern times, where the term is sometimes used to refer to the common people or working-class individuals who are seen as being less powerful or influential than the wealthy elite.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how the term plebs was used in ancient Rome to distinguish between the wealthy and powerful patricians and the common people who made up the majority of the population. The struggles of the plebs to gain more rights and representation in government also highlight the social and political tensions that existed in ancient Rome. The modern usage of the term plebs reflects similar social and economic inequalities that continue to exist in many societies today.
