Roman society was divided in two groups: the Patricians, a relatively small group of the oldest and richest ruling families of Rome that exclusively made up the Senatorial ranks. All the others were Plebeians. Over time, many Patrician families lost their wealth and influence (but not their status) and many Plebeian families became rich and powerful. Rome's emperors came to depend largely on their ranks - also called the equestrian ranks - for the most important jobs. The Patrician families in the Senate found themselves over time more and more marginalized under the Emperors. And the once important and powerful offices reserved for the Patricians - like the office of Consul - became mostly ceremonial offices.
So theoretically speaking the Plebeians ranked firmly below the Patricians - and this really was so during the earlier Republican years - but later on the tables were gradually turned and even before that, an impoverished Patrician family's father might be thrilled to see his daughter marry the son of a rich and old Plebeian family.
