They were mostly poor, and even the rich were not wealthy by Roman standards. Most farmers scratched out a living on a hectare of land, on which they had to grow food for their large families. This land was to small to subdivide amongst several sons, which explains why the Greek cities established hundreds of colony cities around the Mediterranean and Black seas - exporting their surplus populations.
