Storia
Roman society, one of the most influential civilizations in human history, was built upon a complex and well-structured foundation that evolved over centuries. The origins of Roman civilization can be traced back to the early settlements along the Tiber River, where communities of farmers and shepherds gradually coalesced into the city-state of Rome. As Rome expanded, both geographically and politically, its social structure grew more intricate, reflecting a blend of indigenous customs and influences from conquered territories.
At the heart of Roman society was a rigid social hierarchy, essential to maintaining order and stability. This structure was divided primarily into two main classes: the patricians and the plebeians. The patricians were the elite, consisting of noble families who claimed descent from Rome's founding fathers. They held significant political power and owned vast lands. In contrast, the plebeians represented the common people, including farmers, craftsmen, and laborers. Though initially excluded from many aspects of governance, the plebeians gradually secured political rights through persistent social struggles, leading to the establishment of the office of the Tribune, which protected their interests.
Apart from these major classes, Roman society also included a growing number of slaves, who were often prisoners of war or born into servitude. Slavery was integral to the Roman economy, with slaves performing various tasks, from domestic duties to skilled labor in workshops. Despite their lack of freedom, some slaves, particularly those with specialized skills, could earn their emancipation, gaining the status of freedmen and integrating into the lower echelons of society.
