Best Answer

Rich citizens usually has both a city home and a country home, or villa, that included conveniences such as running water and baths.

The poor lived in crowded three- and four-story apartment buildings.

The wealthy also were able to afford slaves to help with the work while the poor generally had to do everything themselves. However, the upper classes were restricted as to the type of work that they could do while the poor could do any type of job. The wealthy had clients who cooperated with them in return for favors while the poor were the clients depending upon a bonus or a gift from the wealthy.

Why was rome in trouble in 135 BC?

Rome was in trouble on 135 B.C because farmers lost their land, meaning Rome lost its economy. Merchants became very poor because luxuries were available in other places for rich Romans to buy, artisans lost their business because the Romans wanted to buy from Syria and Greece, and government officials were to busy getting money to worry about the republic's problems. The gap between the rich and the poor grew. The poor hated the rich and the rich hated the poor. Because of all this, Rome lost its political stability.
