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.
