Life in ancient Rome varied drastically by social class, with wealthy citizens living in grand mansions and the poor living in crowded and dangerous streets. Daily routines revolved around work in the fields or the city, leisure in public places like the baths and bars, and the importance of dinner. Roman society was stratified, with slaves at the bottom, plebeians as commoners, and patricians at the top, and the city was a place of cultural diversity but also of insecurity. Everything in that city had ranks, from the highest to the slaves, who suffered the most: women were prostitutes or maids, while men were farmers, builders, servants, and gladiators. They suffered more than those of low rank, they had no right to anything, not even to disobey their master or ask for their freedom, but there was an exception, if you were chosen to be a gladiator you could gradually recover your right until your freedom if the emperor liked you, to do so you had to have a good body and combat skills, a trainer was chosen to prepare them for the fights.
