The National Assembly was the highest electoral and legislative body. But ordinary people practically could not occupy the highest position in the state and gain access to the senate. The political system of Rome had a pronounced aristocratic character. All power was in the hands of the nobility (nobility), which carefully guarded the magistracies and the senate from the penetration of people of humble origin.
Rome itself was the highest value for a Roman citizen, so everyone had to take care of the welfare of the entire community first and foremost, and his own last. However, constant wars demanded not only the unity of all citizens, but also the courage of each individual. Therefore, in Roman culture, as in no other culture of the Ancient World, respect and interest in the individual were manifested. In the houses of noble families, images of ancestors who became famous in military campaigns or contributed to the prosperity of the community were kept.
