Question

In Rome there were distinct classes. Which of the following describes the distribution of rich and poor at the time

Answer 1

Answer:

B. There were many poor people and fewer rich people

Explanation:

In roman society, the political power is belonged to small groups of nobles. These nobles controlled everything in the Roman empires, including the economy. They have control over all the resources and economic legislations made in Rome.

Because of this , it is almost impossible for the commoners to rise in social status unless they raised up through their military's ranks or being an extremely successful merchants. As a result, the wealth distribution is concentrated to a small group of people while the vast majority lived below the poverty line.
