The classes within Roman society that you can select from your list include:
- Patricians - The aristocratic class of ancient Rome, originally the landholding elite.
- Plebeians - The general populace of ancient Rome, including farmers, merchants, and laborers.
- Senators - Members of the Roman Senate, typically from the patrician class, though some wealthy plebeians could also be included.
- Equites - The equestrian class, originally a group of wealthy citizens who could afford to ride horses in the military, later became a social class of knights and wealthy merchants.
- Slaves - A class of individuals who were considered property and had no personal rights.
Maniple and alae do not represent classes but rather refer to military formations or units within the Roman army.
So, the correct selections indicating classes within Roman society are: patricians, plebeians, senators, equites, and slaves.
