What were the social classes of Ancient Rome called?
Social classes in Rome were called orders. The patricians were the aristocracy. The plebeians were the commoners (all non-patricians, both rich and poor). In the Early Republic, the plebeians fought the patricians in the 200-year conflict of the Orders. The poor plebeians fought for their economic grievances. The rich plebeians, who led the plebeian movement, also fought for power sharing with the patricians, who monopolised it. Eventually, the rich plebeians obtained power sharing and were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy. These rich plebeians were given equite (cavalryman) status. The equites were the second highest ranking order in Roman society. At this point the rich plebeians turned the back on the poor, whose economic issues were never addressed properly and remained plebeians.

The patricians were very wealthy people. The plebeians were the poorer, common class of people.

As a result, the plebeians were often arrested for crimes they didn't know they were committing, and the patricians often changed the laws to fit what they wanted.
