There were many differences between the patricians and the Plebeians in ancient days. One of the main differences between the two which is how most people tell them apart is that the plebeians are lower class citizens and the Patricians are upper-class citizens. This means that the Plebeians are the more poor people and the Patricians are the more wealthy with many more rights. The Plebeians had barely any rights because of how poor they were. The Plebeians made up most of the population. Other differences that still have to do with the rich and poor role is that the patrician's could become senators and emperors but the plebeians could not. The patricians and the Plebians were orginated from Ancient rome but they were the same and had the same rules in ancient Greece.
