“The primary division of society was not that between rich and poor but between citizens and non-citizens. The benefactors of cities gave to their “fellow citizens” and never to the poor. Some of these citizens might well be poor, but their poverty in itself entitled them to nothing. They received entertainment, public comforts (such as great bathhouses), and (in many cities) considerable doles of food. But they did not receive them on the basis of need. They received them because they were members of a privileged group.”
