But let's go back to this kingdom period, and what I'm about to draw actually stays true through most of Roman civilization. If this white circle are the people who lived under Roman rule, only a subset were citizens. So this were the citizens. These were male landowners, citizens, right over here. And within the citizens, they were further divided between patricians, and you could think of them as the nobility. These were people, and they became patrician based on what family they were born into, and it's based on this idea, and the word literally comes from this idea that you are descended from the founding fathers of Rome. And then all the other citizens were the plebeians.
