Who made up middle class in medieval Europe and Asia?
The term "middle class" is a modern concept. In medieval Europe and Asia there were people who were part of the upper classes like Knights and Kings.

So, there was no middle class as we know it.
How Rome was classed?
The citizens of Rome had a rigid social structure. At the beginnings of the city there were two classes of people, the patricians and the plebeians. The patricians being the "haves" and the plebeians the "have nots". After strikes and civil unrest the plebs won their rights. However as Rome grew, many other people came to live in the city and they were neither patrician nor plebeian, they were the proletariat. Some were poor, some were wealthy or grew wealthy. These wealthier citizens became a type of upper middle-class called the Equestrians, (a name taken from the old military order of equites.). The equestrians were primarily the businessmen and they were a powerful political group. Beneath them were the rest of the population, the average Gaius and Marcus. Next came the freedmen, former slaves, who could be wealthy, but were still "classed" below a freeborn man. At the bottom of the pile were the slaves.

Is Sarah palin middle class?
Sarah Palin's salary as governor of Alaska is reported to be $125,000 plus an additional $60,000 in reimbursable expenses. Her husband's salary has been reported as $93,000. This combined income is well above what the Census Bureau considers middle class. According to the Census' most recent data their middle class definition is: Median income for married households was just shy of $70,000 in 2006. The range of the middle 20 percent was approximately $57,000 to $83,000, and the range of the "Baucus middle class"—the middle 60 percent—was about $35,500 to $122,000. This $122,000 figure, then, represents the highest possible income that a married household could accurately call middle income, or "middle class." Hence, Sarah Palin may want us to think of her family as being middle class but her salary alone places her family into the upper class.
