Thepatricians, the higher tier of thearistocracy, were owners of large landed estates. They were a leisured elite engaged in politics, academic pursuits and patronage of the arts.The equestrians, the lower tier of the aristocracy, were merchants, moneylenders, bankers, run shipping companies and invested in mining. They were involved in the imperial bureaucracy and, for a time, they were also private tax collectors engaged in tax farming (lining their pockets with dubious tax raisingpractices).
