Detailed explanation-1: -The word “patrician” comes from the Latin “patres”, meaning “fathers”, and these families provided the empire’s political, religious, and military leadership. Most patricians were wealthy landowners from old families, but the class was open to a chosen few who had been deliberately promoted by the emperor.
Detailed explanation-2: -The aristocracy (wealthy class) dominated the early Roman Republic. In Roman society, the aristocrats were known as patricians.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plebeians were the farmers, craftsmen, laborers, and soldiers of Rome. In the early stages of Rome, the plebeians had few rights. All of the government and religious positions were held by patricians. The patricians made the laws, owned the lands, and were the generals over the army.
