The Greek democracy and the Roman republic both emerged about the same time. How did they differ?
In Greek democracy, each man got a vote; in the Roman republic, each man voted for a representative.
Greek democracy allowed the wealthy to serve as judges, where they had their own chamber, the Senate, in Rome.
Patricians were the wealthy, powerful Roman senators; plebeians were the common people who served in the Greek assembly.
Roman law was written on the twelve tables whereas Greek law was not formally written down.
