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.

Did the gap between rich and poor effect the fall of ancient rome?

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.
