Patricians, in the early days of the city, had most of the wealth and most of the government positions. The Plebeians were the downtrodden and the working class until they revolted and gained their civil rights. There were other classes of people besides the patricians and plebeians. The class of the person depended a great deal upon the wealth of the person. The more wealth/money a person had, the higher his status. A person's wealth also gave him the option of entering a higher class if he could meat the financial requirements.
