  1. 1Cicero started with a disadvantage in politics because he was an [blank_start]Equites[blank_end] or in the middle class. Due to this he did not have the [blank_start]patron/client network[blank_end] which allowed the other senators to gain votes. The [blank_start]patron/client network[blank_end] was when the rich upper class helped the poor during hard times by giving food or money, this then ensured that the client was loyal to the patron who could then [blank_start]count on their vote[blank_end] or voted for who they were told to vote for. Cicero was [blank_start]not part of this patron/client network[blank_end]. Also for the past 100 years [blank_start]20 families had ruled Rome[blank_end] and Cicero was not in one of these families. These Optimates made sure that getting into politics outside of these families was virtually impossible, when Cicero did get in he was [blank_start]labeled as a new man[blank_end], meaning that he is the first person [blank_start]in his family to enter the senate[blank_end]..
