Who were the Patricians and the Plebeians?​

The patricians were originally a group of ruling class families in ancient Rome. The distinction was highly significant in the Roman Kingdom, and the early Republic, but its relevance waned after the Conflict of the Orders.

Patricians were the only ones who could hold political or religious office.

The plebeians were the commoners in Rome and had the highest population in society
