    During the Roman Republic, which group of aristocrats controlled Roman society?

    • Patricians

    • Plebeians

    • Etruscans

    • Republicans

    Correct Answer
    A. Patricians
    Explanation
    During the Roman Republic, the group of aristocrats who controlled Roman society were known as Patricians. They were the wealthy and influential members of society who held positions of power in the government, such as senators and magistrates. The Patricians were typically descended from the original noble families of Rome and held a monopoly on political and social privileges, while the Plebeians, on the other hand, were the common people who had fewer rights and were often excluded from positions of power. The Etruscans were a civilization that preceded the Roman Republic, and Republicans refers to the political system rather than a specific group.
