patricians
The aristocrats or nobility of ancient Rome were the patricians and the plebeians. These two classes were the ones who could trace their roots back to the families who founded the city. All the other citizens were the newcomers or the proletariat who, although wealthy and coming from respectable families outside of the city of Rome, could not do this.The aristocrats or nobility of ancient Rome were the patricians and the plebeians.

In the republican period of Rome, a consortium of wealthy families ruled. Theoretically the counsuls were elected, but the voting blocks could be "persuaded" to vote a certain way.

Wealthy people
People from rich and powerful families are generally called by their names. This is true in present day times and it was also true in Roman times. Do not be misled into thinking that there was a class of people in ancient Rome who were the exclusively wealthy. True, at the beginning of the city there were the patricians who were the wealthy upper class, but the poorer plebeians began their upward financial climb. These people were in time followed by another group of Romans called equites. All families in these three groups could be rich and therefore powerful as money was power in ancient Rome.
In the republican period of Rome, a consortium of wealthy families ruled. Theoretically the counsuls were elected, but the voting blocks could be "persuaded" to vote a certain way.
The landowning families were the patricians (the aristocracy). During the Early Republic all the members of the Roman senate were patricians. In 368 BC members of rich plebeian families gained access to both the consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic) and the senate. Thus, from then on the membership of the senate was composed of both patricians and rich plebeians (commoners). These rich plebeians were given the status of equites (equestrians) which was a lower tier of the aristocracy,
Poor people in ancient Rome were generally called by their names just as rich people were called by their names. Do not make the mistake of thinking that the poor were called plebeians (except at the beginning of the city) as there were many wealthy plebeians as well as wealthy people of other classes.Poor people in ancient Rome were generally called by their names just as rich people were called by their names.
