| − | Every Roman citizen was and is a member of a tribe. According to tradition there were originally three tribes, created by king [[Romulus]]; the tribes were reorganized by king [[Servius Tullius]] and greatly increased in number.

| − | The tribes in ancient times were fundamental social units. Each tribes had its own officials, and many important activities were organized on a tribal basis including the ''census'', collection of taxes, and voting in the [[Comitia Populi Tributa (Nova Roma)|Comitia Populi Tributa]] and the [[Comitia Plebis Tributa (Nova Roma)|Comitia Plebis Tributa]]. They were so important that a Roman's full [[Choosing_a_Roman_name#Tribe|name]] included the name of his tribe along with the name of his father and grandfather.

| − | Four of the tribes (Collina, Esquilina, Palatina, and Suburana) are urban tribes; the rest are rural tribes. In ancient times citizens who owned land outside the city of Rome were enrolled in rural tribes, while those who lived exclusively in the city belonged to urban tribes. The result was that the urban tribes had much less power in the voting assemblies than the rural tribes had. Nowadays the urban tribes contain those citizens who fail to pay their annual taxes.
