From the Servian reform of the army by Servius Tullius (the 6th king of Rome) in the 6th century BC, when the army was a citizen militia, to the Marian reform by Gaius Marius in 107 BC, the Roman army was divided into classes: at first there were two, later there were 5.
Servius Tullius introduced a census which counted the number of men of military age (age 17 to 46) and evaluated the property value of farmers. These were divided into two classes: the classis (class) and the infra classem (the class below). The former were the heavy infantrymen, the latter were the light infantrymen. The former were farmers with a higher a property value and the latter were farmers with a lower one. This was because soldiers had to pay for their military equipment and the heavy armour of the heavy infantry was expensive, while the light infantry had minimal protection. Hence, the more-well-to-do served in the classis and the less well-off served in the infra classem. There was also a property threshold for being drafted in the army. The propertyless were exempt from military service because they were the poorest members of society. They were put into a class called capite censi or proletarii.
The soldiers were later put into five classes. Historians think that this happened when pay for the soldiers (stipendium) was introduced in 405 BC. A tax (tributum) was introduced to pay for this. The five classes, again, were based on property values. It is thought that the better off you were the more tax you paid, and the less well-off paid less.
This system was scrapped by The Marian reform, which abolished the property threshold, got the state to pay for the military equipment and made serving in the army a professional career.
From the beginnings of Rome to 107 BC the Roman army was a citizen militia. The soldiers were peasant-proprietors who were enlisted for the military campaigning season (March to up to October) and return to their farms. The officers belonged to the patricians (the aristocracy).
In 107 BC there were reforms of the Roman army and the beginning of the development of a professional career for soldiers. From then on the soldiers came mainly from the ranks of the landless poor.

The Equites were the social group that were loosely similar to Roman soldiers. In the early days the Equestrians had to supply their own horses and weapons. If a man were wealthy enough to own a horse, and use it in the army, his social status was raised. As time went on the Equites or Knights, as they were sometimes called, became a distinct social class. The Equestrian class had its roots in the Roman army.

The Imperial Roman Army.
It was not the Roman people who looked after the army. It was the Roman state.
When the Germanic invasion threatened and the border army was defeated, they recruited the unpropertied class into the army to provide the numbers to match the invaders.
