Poor people were actually treated quite well, as compared with other ancient cultures. They received a measure of oil and grain which supplemented their food intake, they had the free entertainment, on occasion, generally on the anniversary of one of the emperor's achievements, they received a cash grant, and at the end of public events in the Colosseum, tokens were thrown out to the poor which could be redeemed for various luxury items, such as a slave, clothing, cash, furniture, etc.
