The correct statements regarding the Tribunes of ancient Rome are:
a) had 300 members - This statement is not accurate as the Tribunes referred to the "Tribunes of the Plebs", who were typically a smaller group of elected officials, not specifically 300 members.
b) commanded soldiers - This statement is also not accurate. Tribunes of the Plebs did not command soldiers; they were primarily representatives of the plebeians and had functions related to protecting the rights of the common people.
c) were the royalty class of wealthy persons - This statement is incorrect. The Tribunes of the Plebs were specifically elected representatives of the plebeian class, which comprised the lower social strata, not wealthy aristocrats or royalty.
d) had veto power - This statement is accurate. The Tribunes of the Plebs had the power to veto decisions made by the Senate and other magistrates, which was a significant power to protect the interests of the plebeians.
In summary, the most accurate statement regarding the Tribunes is d) had veto power.
