Axum, an ancient civilization located in present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea, was characterized by a diverse and stratified society. Its population included a mix of indigenous African groups and traders from various regions, leading to a rich cultural exchange. The society was hierarchical, with a ruling elite, including the emperor, and a class of merchants and farmers. Additionally, Axum was known for its religious tolerance, particularly after the adoption of Christianity in the 4th century, which influenced its architecture and societal norms.
In the ancient Kingdom of Axum, society was structured into distinct social classes. At the top were the ruling elite and the nobility, which included kings, priests, and wealthy landowners. Below them were skilled artisans, merchants, and traders who facilitated commerce, particularly due to Axum's strategic location in trade routes. The lower class consisted of farmers and laborers, who worked the land and supported the economy but had limited social and political power.
