The plebeians demanded equal rights and got?

The process of getting equal rights was a slow one. Widespread rebellion got them the right to vote and hold some offices by 247 B.C. Julius Caesar, whose support was from the common man, probably gave them more rights in the first century B.C., much to the aristocrats' chagrin. They definetly got equal rights after 485 A.D, when the Western Roman Empire was invaded and surviving Romans were assimilated into Barbarian society.
