how did the roman patricians respond when the plebeians seceded from rome in 494 bc
Conflict of the Orders In 494 BC Rome was at war with three Italic tribes (the Aequi, Sabines and Volsci),[1] but the Plebeian soldiers advised by Lucius Sicinius Vellutus refused to march against the enemy, and instead seceded to the Sacred Mount outside Rome. A settlement was negotiated and the patricians agreed that the plebs be given the right to elect their own officials.[1] The Plebeians named these new officials Plebeian Tribunes (tribuni plebis).
