The rich lived very luxurious lives, with lots of slaves working for them, the poor sought advice from some of the rich.
Slaves were usually treated roughly even like animals, if they got enough money they could buy their freedom, sometimes they stayed with their masters though.
The poor: lots of them were farmers or general labourers. Their diet wasn't particularly varied because meat and some vegetables were expensive.
Life differed between the rich and poor in ancient Rome just as life differs between the rich ad poor in our own society. The wealthy have the resources to acquire luxuries, labor saving devises or "classy" things while the poor do not. It was no different in the ancient societies. For example, the elite of ancient Rome were able to afford several slaves, thereby freeing themselves from routine duties so they could pursue other interests perhaps in the fields of politics, literature or architecture. The poor owned one slave at most (many had none) therefore they had to devote most of their time to routine things, earning a living taking top priority.
The rich people in ancient rome lived in big houses.If a rich person were to live in the country he/she would most likely live in a villa,which is a big estates. In the center of the house there was a thing called atrium. This was a courtyard.
The wealthy class of Romans lived pretty much as the wealthy class of people live in the present. They had larger houses both in the city and in the country. They may have had a villa or two or even three. They could afford better food and exotic foods for parties. They had many more slaves to run their houses and estates and they could afford to collect and commission fine art. There were many parallels with the wealthy of today.
There was a big gap between the two.
The differences between the poor houses and the rich houses were that the poor houses did not have fancy rooms or anything like that and the rich houses had store room lovely kitchen they had much better things then the poor houses

The differences between the Plebeians and Patricians were the differences between the rich and the poor. So yes, these differences still exist in all countries all over the world.
No. What caused the fall of Rome was unchecked government growth and corruption. Those who wanted power, promised the government would give everybody everything they wanted and raised taxes and destroyed the value of the money to try to give it to them. Does that sound familiar? You can't make a poor man rich by making a rich man poor. Go to YouTube and watch "The Money Masters" and you will understand.
Yes, the poor people would work for or be slaves for the rich, the poor people were the plebeians and the rich were called the patricians; the equestrians was another of the classes.

Ancient Rome was good for living if you were rich. If you were poor you would struggle to survive. There was no welfare except for a free gain dole.
In the early days the members of poor families in ancient Rome were called plebeians. As time went by they were just the proletariat, or as some of the aristocratic ancient writers call them, "the howling mob".In the early days the members of poor families in ancient Rome were called plebeians.

well i dont know me and my partner are doing a rome project in the 6th grade and i need this question answered or we are screwed if you want to learn about ancient roman slaves look at these sites http://library.thinkquest.org/26602/entertainment.htm http://www.hadrians.com/rome/romans/daily_life/roman_slaves.html They were treated terribly! They were auctioned off and fought to the death. If they were lucky. Otherwise, they had to work in dangerous situations on high mountains and cliffs. If they misbehaved, they got a lashing and were starved until they died! (If you want to learn more watch 'Spartacus')
The poor in ancient Rome usually only got a piece of bread to eat and they made their bed and made their own clothing
The poor gets poorer and the rich gets richer.
