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.
