Since the beginning of written history human society has been divided into classes. These class divisions will be different depending on the particular society you are looking at and its peculiar conditions. Some societies, like Ancient Rome, had class systems based on slavery and land ownership, with slaves and Plebeians at the bottom, and slave owners and land-owning Patricians at the top. In such societies, if you are a slave, or if you are a “free” Plebeian who owns no little to no land, you are a nobody, and as such have the rights of a nobody.
