Both the plebeian as well as the patrician will be judged guilty.

Ancient Roman society was divided into two different 'classes'. These two consist of the wealthy Plebeian and the patrician, the poorer class.

  • The plebeian was the upper class and was also more favorable by the law.
  • On the contrary, the working patrician class was more inclined to be tried and accused of anything against the law.
  • In the given scenario, if a plebeian, as well as the patrician, were to commit the same crime, then the criminal/accused will be treated the same way.
  • This shows how fair and even the Roman law is regarding any crime committed, despite a person's social class.

This means that both of them will be judged guilty, without any difference in their treatment according to their class or societal standing. Thus, the correct answer is option a.
