rule by the patrician class without plebian representation

Answer 1

The following responses correctly describe key events, values, and achievements during the time of the Roman Republic:

1. Growth in size and power after the Punic Wars - After defeating Carthage in the Punic Wars, Rome significantly expanded its territory and power.

2. A code of written law called the Twelve Tables - The Twelve Tables were established as Rome's first formal codification of laws, which helped to address issues of justice and rights among citizens.

3. Rule by the patrician class without plebeian representation - Initially, the Roman Republic was dominated by the patrician class, leading to social and political struggles for plebeian rights and representation.

The repeated options can be disregarded, and the first statement regarding personal wealth and power being valued more than loyalty to Rome is somewhat subjective and not universally accepted as a defining characteristic of the Roman Republic as a whole. It can reflect certain periods or instances, but it does not encapsulate the values and achievements of the Republic generally.
