Answer
The patricians, Rome's privileged aristocratic class, staunchly opposed Servius Tullius' revolutionary reforms. These reforms aimed to dismantle the traditional power structure based solely on birth and wealth by introducing a more inclusive system that granted political rights and responsibilities to all citizens based on their property ownership. The patricians feared the erosion of their exclusive privileges and control over society and vehemently resisted any challenges to their dominance.
