The plebeians were the lower class. Nicknamed "plebs", the plebeians included everyone in ancient Rome (except for the nobility, the patricians) from well-to-do tradesmen all the way down to the very poor. However this was only during the beginning of the republic. Over time the Plebeians gained their rights and wealth and also became the nobility. The two groups, Patrician and Plebeian, were the aristocracy, as the majority of people in ancient Rome were immigrants and had no ancestral connection to the founders of the city, as did the Plebeians and Patricians.

Plebeians were the regular citizens of Rome. Not upper-class in anyway.

The Plebs were the major part of the population which did not belong to the top class of Patrician families. They were both rich and poor elements, it was a matter of descent.
