Different people had different niches. Slaves worked long hours without pay for bare subsistence; small farmers worked long hours for subsistence to support large families; tradesmen worked long hours for small reward; sailors spent long times at sea supporting trade and defending traders; traders worked long hours trading at home and throughout the Mediterranean; the upper classes lived in comparative luxury on the proceeds of those others.
