At first the patrician class consisted of the wealthy landowners of Rome. They were the ones who were responsible for the city's defense because they were the ones who could afford to raise an army. This situation naturally evolved in the patrician class becoming the ruling class because they were the ones who had the most to lose if things went wrong. In time, they lost their exclusive ruling powers and many of them lost their wealth, but because they could trace their ancestry back to the founding of the city, they were still part of the aristocracy.
