I have read another time the classical book The social history of Rome, Géza Alföldy. According to him, the real innovation consists in the creation of the Plebs, or better in the recognition of rights to the plebs, in exchange for its partecipation in the military campaigns that initially granted the freedom to Rome, and then granted the conquest of an empire.
And probably this is started with one of the first social reforms in Rome, the reform that transformed Rome in a timocracy. Not a simple monarchy or in an oligarchy, but in a society in which rights and duties were highly related.
