- Roman_aristocracy abstract "The ancient Roman aristocracy (Latin: nobilitas Romana) consisted of three overlapping groups, or "orders", in order of rank: the patricii (Patricians), a hereditary caste that monopolised political power during the regal era (to 509 BC) and during the early Republic (to 338 BC); the ordo senatorius ("Senatorial Order"), which included all sitting members of the Roman Senate and their families; and the ordo equester ("Order of Knights"). The groups overlapped in the sense that all Patricians and Senators also held the status of Roman Knights.Of the three, only Patrician rank was hereditary and permanent, and thus the number of Patricians gradually declined over the centuries as male lines died out. Senatorial rank depended on the head of the family holding a seat in the Senate, which was not hereditary, but dependent on election. (Senate seats were limited to 600 during the Principate, 30 BC - AD 284). Although election was for life, the seat would be forfeited if the Senator, at the quinquennial census, failed to meet a minimum property requirement (250,000 denarii under Augustus). Knightly rank was hereditary (in the male line), but again could be lost by failure to meet a property threshold (100,000 denarii). As only Knights were eligible for a seat in the Senate, all Senators also held Knightly rank (and would revert to it if they lost their seat). Under Augustus, a distinction arose between hereditary Knights (known, due to historical reasons, as equites equo publico - "Knights with a Public Horse"), and the much more numerous "property-Knights", commoners who attained the property-threshold, and were accorded Knightly status and regalia by Augustus, but did not belong to the Order and were not eligible to enter the Senate or hold the public posts reserved for Knights.During the Roman imperial era, all the top administrative, military and religious positions - Senate seats, state magistracies, provincial governorships, command of legions and auxiliary regiments, state priesthoods - were reserved for Senators and hereditary Knights. Wealth accumulated over centuries by aristocratic families resulted in most land and commerce being in the hands of the same elite. Thus, a tiny elite of around 5,000 men monopolized all of the wealth and power in an empire of nearly 60 million inhabitants.".
