The Romans did not have a middle class like us. They had three social orders (as they called them). The patricians were the aristocracy. The equites (equestrians, cavalrymen) were a class of wealthy bankers, moneylenders, merchants and investors in mining and shipping. The rest were the plebeians, which comprised both middle income groups and the masses of the poor.

There was a huge gap between the rich and the poor in ancient Rome. The rich lived a life of great luxury. There was a middling income class, which cannot be compared with the modern middle class. The majority of the population lived in abject poverty. The masses of the poor relied on a grain dole which distributed free grain to the poor.
