Patricians & Plebeians
Generosity amongst the nobles shows a certain practicality.Life is not fair and nor is the distribution of wealth within Roman society. There is a divide between the smaller group of ruling patricians and the larger group known as the plebeians. The patricians can trace their origins back to the first families of Rome and have accumulated vast wealth and influence; they also hold a monopoly over public and religious offices. The substantial differences between rich and poor create a specific feature of our society, known as 'patronage', whereby citizens in dire economic trouble rely on the generosity of their wealthier neighbours. The latter are usually happy to help, ensuring the continuation of a system which disproportionately benefits them, of course.
