      - it shows the urbanisation of rome
    - - 100 of romes best men, called patriarchs, would offer leadership and guidance to the rest of the population, the plebeians, who would serve as clients
      - the patriarchs 'would become priests, magistrates and judges...the plebeians would become farmers and tradesmen'
      - this is seen as far-fetched as it was 200 years before greek democracy
    - - 100 patriarchs served in the senate, advising the king and appointed for life
      - the king remained the most important figure in government
      - Livy claims that the senate murdered romulus for acting as a tyrant, and after his death they appointed one of themselves as an interrex
    - - dionysus' account is confused and states that rome had a small population, but then proposed there was an advanced political system that could only have worked with a large population
      - livy's account is simpler and suggests that rome was divided into 30 curiae or sub-regions
