The Roman Social Hierarchy - The Pax Romana Podcast 042

from The Pax Romana Podcast · host Professor Colin Elliott

Roman society was highly stratified. Rank, wealth, birth and political power--not necessarily merit--determined one's place in the world. The social system was intricated and divided; both masses and elites were subdivided in a variety of ways. And above all was the emperor. He reigned supreme, as not just a ruler, but a patron and father over the entire Roman world.
