Rich Romans lived on comfortable detached houses with a garden surrounded on all sides by porticos and a pond. They had a large number of slaves who performed some 40 different kinds of jobs. They lived an opulent live and liked to show off their wealth. The patricians (the aristocracy) were owners of large landed estates. They were a leisured group (they did not work) and were engaged in politics, intellectual pursuits and writing and were patrons of the arts. The equites (cavalrymen, the second highest social rank) were an entrepreneurial group of bankers, money lenders and investors in shipping and mining. Some equites were high civil servants.
