In ancient Rome, the class of plebeians included:

  • artisans
  • farmers
  • merchants

Landowners and nobles were typically part of the patrician class, while priests could belong to either the plebeian or patrician class depending on their social status and the specific priestly duties they held. However, in general context, the other three listed (artisans, farmers, merchants) are definitively plebeian.
