Best Answer

The plebeians were the commoners. Originally it referred to anyone who was not a patrician (an aristocrat), both rich and poor. Later many rich plebeians were given the status of equites (equestrians), which was a sort of lower layer of the aristocracy and plebeian came to indicate the middle income layer and the poor.
