Yes. Once you were elected to the office of Praetor, you were officially henceforward a patrician and your descendants were allowed to show busts of you in their homes.

I've wondered why the Roman's didn't give the option for extremely rich Plebian's to buy the title of Patrican .
Unless it did happen .

For one thing: they'd had "Social Wars" about this kind of thing. (EDIT: ^^ You should fix a typo, it's utterly confusing ambiguous this way.)
For another politics in general and elections in particular was about buying support - it required a substantial investment in the local charitable organistations. Mind you, for the winner it would be a very good investment: it often was rewarded with very lucrative interest rates.
