The partricians were the original Roman aristocracy, created under the monarchy. These were old senatorial families.
The plebeians were non-patricians, the mass of Roman citizens, who had their own officials (eg. tribunes of the plebs). However, plebeians could be very wealthy, and towards the later part of the Roman Republic they gained considerable power. For example, a law was introduced that one of the two consuls (the most powerful position in Rome) had to be a plebeian, and often both consuls would be plebeian.

∙ 6y agoThis is a simple question?
Plebeians were common people and patricians were rich people!

Actually, it was not that simple. It was possible to be a rich plebeian, and it was also possible to be a poor patrician.
Patricians were members of an hereditary class who had political power plebeians did not have. Originally, the patricians had nearly all the power, but with the passage of time, power shifted into the hands of the plebeians, and the status of patricians changed, with emperors granting the title to supporters in great numbers. Nevertheless, the patricians were always regarded as a sort of aristocracy, from the time of the kings, through the republic and empire, and even after the empire fell. When Odoacer deposed Romulus Augustulus, the event called the fall of the Roman Empire, he sent a delegation of Roman Senators to Emperor Zeno of the East Roman Empire, asking among other things that he be given the title of patrician.
