- Common Citizens:

• Lived in cramped apartments in shabby buildings in Rome.

• Rented land from wealthy landowners.

- Enslaved People:

• Servants to wealthy Romans

• Worked dangerous jobs in mines

Explanation:

During the Roman Empire, the wealthy people possessed an extravagant and luxurious lifestyle while the common people were in contrast to them as their houses were shabby and squalid with a constant fear of being collapsed any moment. For them such a luxurious life was mere a dream as they didn't even possess a piece of land and rented land from wealthy owners to earn their livelihood.

As far as the slaves were concerned during the roman era, they were the servants to the wealthy and rich Romans and worked in order to add grace (according to them) to their luxury and comfort. They had to work in hazardous working conditions in mines to keep their owners (who possessed them as objects) content and ensure their and their family's survival.
