The main problem of the poor was survival. Most of them were unemployed or underemployed. They relied of a initially subsidised and then free grain dole distributed by the state. Another problem was unfairness. Most of the Roman punishments were corporal punishments and death sentences. Most of these were meted out on the poor. The rich usually got away with a fine or house arrest, except for cases of treason.
