The Patricians invent the plebeiansThe Romans make sure about Carthage
Chapter 5
But there was a lot to do, so the plebeians were kept pretty busy,
2mBuilding temples and monuments with stone inscriptions and so forth,
3All over the place,
4Not to mention naqueducts,
5And bridges,
6oAnd roads,
7So that Roman legions could march out and conquer everybody who believed in the pwrong Gods,
8qOr who believed in the right Gods under the wrong names.
9And so it was that the Romans invented a very important new concept,
10Called “division of labor,”
11Which worked very well.
12For example,
13The Patricians would think up a huge rengineering project,
14And then the plebeians would build it;
15The Patricians would think of ssomebody to have a war with,
16And then the plebeians would fight it.
17And sometimes they would even do things the other way around.
18aFor example, it often happened that the plebeians would make history,
19And then the Patricians would write it.
