Did poor people get treated bad in ancient Rome?

Yes. The poor in Rome at the time had no rights, no social systems to care for them, and very poor prospects if they could find no work. Rome was a stratified society where people high in the social hierarchy enjoyed rights and privileges that the poor did not have. The poor could be abused and exploited without having any way to get justice for it. Given Rome's large population, there was not enough work, and many of the poor depended on handouts from the Emperor and Senate (when they had the money or were not spending it on a war) for food to prevent starvation.
