The Roman People’s Assemblies differed depending on the fact whether all the citizens or only the plebeian gathered at them. Concilia plebis could vote plebisscita, which were at the beginning not binding for everyone. Finally, the leges and plebisscita became equal on the grounds of the lex Hortensia. The earlier laws had also dealt with this matter: the lex Valeria Horatia gave binding power to the plebiscites voted during the secession on the Mons Sacer, and the lex Publilia Philonis – to the plebiscites accepted by the Senate. The decisions of the assemblies which were not of the general character were called privilegia. In the case of such legal acts as adrogatio, testamentum calatis comitiis or detestatio sacrorum there was no rogatio and accordingly no lex was voted.
