My adult son has been teaching me so many facts of the Romans. He is so intelligent and I love learning history.

a noble was called a patrician, patricianus, related to father. a commoner, not necessarily poor, was called a plebian. a middle class was called equitanus, a knight, horse owner. In the days of the Roman empire the patron was anyone who supplied bread and succour to his followers. Often wealthy plebian merchants.
