People from rich and powerful families are generally called by their names. This is true in present day times and it was also true in Roman times. Do not be misled into thinking that there was a class of people in ancient Rome who were the exclusively wealthy. True, at the beginning of the city there were the patricians who were the wealthy upper class, but the poorer plebeians began their upward financial climb. These people were in time followed by another group of Romans called equites. All families in these three groups could be rich and therefore powerful as money was power in ancient Rome.
