In ancient Rome, the three main social classes were the patricians, plebeians, and slaves. Patricians, the aristocratic elite, lived in large, elegant homes called domus in the city, while plebeians, the common citizens, resided in more modest apartments or insulae, often in crowded urban areas. Slaves, lacking rights and freedom, lived in their masters' homes or in separate quarters, depending on their roles and the wealth of their owners. This social structure defined various aspects of Roman life, including politics, economy, and daily interactions.
