So … where did they go and how did they survive, the working class that is.
I presume much the same ways as they did inside the city…with work.
Grab a quiet field(there was more available space before there were so many people), put up some temporary shelters, hunt and forage, cook a camp potluck. Sure, go without the certainty of stone and plumbing for awhile, but it could be done when you had the skills and the will.
Unlike the the other guys who had to realize they weren’t very good at or comfortable with the whole…working thing.
If memory serves they went to like one of the hills outside the city proper and waited till their demands were met. As far as survive - they were the farmers, the bakers, the cooks, the soldiers etc. They weren’t the ones with a problem surviving
how did they survive
Bro, they’re the farmers, the producers of food, and chances are they only worked in those cities and didn’t live in them. Most of history prior to the bubonic plague had like 90% of the work force as farmers.
They probably only got one foot out the door before the Patricians noticed the slaves doing some mental math and immediately caving.
This sounds like bullshit.
If you could actually organize like this you’d just roll over the ruling class and be done with it.
Why? It’s just a strike, we definitely have those and still no global communism…
Well, in my country a strike is illegal if it’s about an issue that doesn’t directly affect you (and then they criticise you for being selfish), so there’s that. Oh, and it recently became very illegal to protest climate change.
Most strikes in history, at least the most important ones were all illegal. I’m pretty sure this Roman thing wasn’t legal either.
Very true.

I don’t think that’s a constructive moral to take from it
Speak for yourself. I’m waiting for you fucks to cotton on and become commies
Me too, but the coward mods appear to disagree.
I mean… I don’t use any of those services…
