SOCIAL STRUCTURE
Rome knew four classes of people; division was very important
Lowest class were the slaves; had no rights at all and were owned
Next class were the plebeians; free people who had little say at all
Second highest class were the equestrians; given horse if they were called to fight for Rome
Patricians; nobles, the highest class- real power in Rome lay with them.
