Augustus was a plebeian who belonged to the lower tier of the aristocracy. He was from an equite (equestrian) branch of the plebeian Octavia clan. Earlier in history, the rich plebeians fought for access to power, which was monopolised by the patrician aristocracy. They eventually obtained access to the senate and the offices of state and were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy. They were given equite (cavalryman) status. The equite order was the lower tier of the aristocracy (the patrician were the higher tier).

The patricians were the upper tier of the aristocracy. Many historians, however, use the term of middle class, to better define his place in Roman society before he became emperor.
