These are the two social classes in ancient Rome. Patricians were the wealthy land owners while the plebeians were the subordinate farmers, merchants and artisans. In early Rome only patricians could hold any political office, but that was changed by mass exoduses by plebeians rallying for political reform. The patrician class was so small the city of Rome in and of itself could not be run without the plebeians there to help.
