The Roman Empire Citizen Quiz

I Know It's On Your Mind...So Let's Find Out If You'd Be Lower Or Upper Class In The Roman Empire

Do you usually stay up late or go to bed at a decent time?

What would your pet be?

And are you currently registered to vote?

You are an upper class Roman citizen, also know as a patrician. Cooking and cleaning is left to your maids, which allows for your days to be filled with pleasure. You like to spend your time playing board games. You also enjoy swimming, fencing, and riding. You have a say in government as you are allowed to vote and most likely have a dog as your loyal companion. You often stay up late as you don't work in the morning, and you dine on vegetables, fish, fruit, and cakes.

You are an upper-class Roman citizen!

You are a lower class Roman citizen, also know as a plebeian. In many cases, although Plebeians were not extremely wealthy, they lived comfortably often in apartments above their stores. You have little say in government, but you enjoy a simple life. For fun, you enjoy attending the circus, chariot races, and gladiator tournaments at the amphitheater. You have work in the morning, therefore you typically don't stay up late. As far as food, your diet consists mainly of bread, cheese, olives, and raisins.
