1. Read:
The patricians were highly educated and had more advantages than anyone else. They owned a lot of property, and they were the only ones that could perform religious customs. Patricians had more power than any other social class in Rome because patricians created the laws for the people. They were the majority of the Senate and they had the right to vote. Patricians also had a choice in responsibilities. For example, they did not have to be in the military, whereas others were required to participate. As they belong to this social class, they automatically were qualified to take over the throne. Patricians had very important jobs and had much power over other citizens of ancient Rome.
The plebeians were the poor, low-class citizens. There were more plebeians than patricians in Rome. They participated in the army, and they paid the taxes for the city. The plebeians could pay the taxes because the government gave them enough free things that they could save up money from little jobs that a patrician might hire them for. They could not marry the patricians or take part in the government. The plebeians were treated so badly that if they got a debt, they could be sold into slavery. Many times, the plebeians and patricians fought over the laws of ancient Rome. Some of them were unemployed so the government gave them baths, free grain, and games to keep them quiet and happy.
Finally, The slaves of Ancient Rome were at the bottom of the class system. The only way you could become a slave is if you were a plebiean and you had a debt or if you were a prisoner of war. Slaves would work the land, work mills, shop, cut/shave hair, and wash hands in between courses of food. They did everything all for their masters. Some slaves' jobs were also to be gladiators, or fighters who fought others or animals, farmers, craftsmen, traders, laborers, or people who did manual labor. Some slaves were also sold at slave markets by their masters if their masters did not think highly of their work.
Slaves could also receive freedom from their masters by paying them. Sometimes masters would give freedom to their favorite slaves.
Once the slaves had gained freedom in one of the various ways, a special ceremony was held called a manumission. After their manumission, they usually worked hard to become traders. Some even became citizens and then started a whole new life as a citizen.
