What are the differences between the rich and poor in the roman empire?

There was a big difference in the rich citizens in ancient Rome, similar to the 1% crisis today. The rich citizens, known as the patricians, made up 10% of the population and had 90% of the wealth. The poor, called plebeians, made up 90% of the population and had 10% of the wealth. The patricians had most rights, whereas the plebeians barely had basic human rights. It wasn't a nice place to be. If you were rich, you didn't have friends. If you were poor, you didn't have an education.
