Political changes

he also developed the equites, a prestigious cavalry unit that was given a state horse
servius is thus remembered 'as the one who established all distinctions and ranks in society whereby groups are differentiated from one another by station and wealth'
he also changed the voting system, votes were now cast according to wealth. The rich voted first and decisions would be made before the poorest cast their vote
Livy praised these reforms, saying the class system and census were 'an invaluable institution for a nation destined to be so great'
Social Changes
introduced a new tribal system, each tribe describing where a person lived in rome. there were four areas
he added two new areas, the Quirinal and Viminal hills
