    The document describes the different social classes in ancient Roman society: the patricians as the wealthy landowning ruling class who could veto laws; the plebeians as the lower ordinary citizens who had to pay taxes and could not hold government leadership positions but could own small shops; freedmen who were free from slavery and could have jobs like craftsmen but had few rights and could own small shops and farms; and slaves who had no rights and performed manual labor jobs.
