Slaves and Proletariets
Slaves and Proletariats are the two lowest classes in ancient Rome. In ancient Rome, only the higher classes got good jobs. This gives Slaves and Proletariats not as much job options, and certainly not any good job options. Slaves worked for people. They helped with: Engineering (roads, aqueducts, buildings), Factories, Mines, Gladiator, Farming, Firemen, and Private Households. Proletariats were: Artisans, Traders, and Gladiators. Proletariats also sometimes sold themselves as slaves.
