1. CHAPTER 7, SECTION 3 Roman Daily Life Patricians, Plebeians and Slaves

2. Things We Already Know A patrician was a member of the wealthy upper-class. A plebeian was an ordinary citizen. Slaves made up about ⅓ of the population. Slaves came from all across land controlled by Rome. Slaves did most of the building, such as the Colosseum or Trajan’s Forum.

3. Things We Already Know Prior to 367 B.C.E. and The Law of the Twelve Tables, plebeians could not be senators or consuls. Patricians gave in to these demands because plebeians refused to fight in Rome’s wars. Patricians were becoming increasingly rich, taking over plebeian land and bringing in more slaves—meaning more and more plebeians were unemployed and homeless.
