Roman patricians are the wealthy landowner who held most of the power in the Roman republic. Roman plebeians are the common farmers, artisans, and merchants who made up most of the Roman population. Roman patricians and plebeians were different because patricians inherited their power and rights, while plebeians had to fight for rights over time. Plebeians could vote like the patricians, but couldn't hold important government positions. Patrician officials were so unfair to the plebeians that Roman leaders allowed plebeians to form their own assembly with elected leaders to protect their rights. Plebeians forced the creation of a written law of code, so patricians couldn't interpret the laws the way they wanted to. Basically patricians had most of the political power, but plebeians fought back and gained more power over time. The Greek version of patricians are artisans and the Greek version of plebeians are the middle-class.
