There were four classes of people in Rome: the aristocrats, the equestrians, the common citizens, and the slaves. The aristocrat class was composed of about three hundred families, mostly senators, who inherited status. The equestrians were merchants, government builders, and bankers who charged high rates of interest. The common citizens included farmers, industrial workers, and the city mob, which numbered hundreds of thousands.

Other slaves worked in rich homes as doorkeepers, litter bearers, messengers, or servants. Some Greek slaves were teachers.
