The populations of these cities were divided into social classes which, like societies in every civilization throughout history, were hierarchical. These classes were: The King and Nobility, The Priests and Priestesses, The Upper Class, the Lower Class, and The Slaves.
There were the high class gentry, the middle class and the lowest class. The government officials, the king, the priests, landowners and the wealthy traders and merchants formed the upper strata of society.
Primarily trade and commerce which led to economic development, was triggered after the farmers learned the art of irrigating their land. The economy of Mesopotamia depended on where the people were located. The hill people required wheat and barley while they could sell copper, silver, gold, limestone and timber.
