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.

Did poor people and rich people have separate jobs and were they separated or classed in ancient rome?
Yes, the poor people would work for or be slaves for the rich, the poor people were the plebeians and the rich were called the patricians; the equestrians was another of the classes.
Was ancient Rome's soil rich?
Yes, it was very rich.
Did the gap between rich and poor effect the fall of ancient rome?
No. What caused the fall of Rome was unchecked government growth and corruption. Those who wanted power, promised the government would give everybody everything they wanted and raised taxes and destroyed the value of the money to try to give it to them. Does that sound familiar? You can't make a poor man rich by making a rich man poor. Go to YouTube and watch "The Money Masters" and you will understand.
What are some differences between the rich and poor in ancient Rome?
The rich lived very luxurious lives, with lots of slaves working for them, the poor sought advice from some of the rich. Slaves were usually treated roughly even like animals, if they got enough money they could buy their freedom, sometimes they stayed with their masters though. The poor: lots of them were farmers or general labourers. Their diet wasn't particularly varied because meat and some vegetables were expensive.
Does ancient rome still exist?
its legacy does The city of Rome still stands - very different today to what it was then. The political body of Ancient Rome does not exist.
