Residents of Athens were divided into three classes&colon; Athenians, "metics", and slaves. None of these rights were available to metics. Citizenship was very rarely granted to metics. The metics were even harder to tell from the citizens. Producers of ancient Athenian art are known to have included metics. Wealthy households would have had many slaves and metics working for them. All metics there were required to register in the deme (local community) where they lived. Slaves and metics who participated in the battle were granted Athenian citizenship. Metics were also subject to enslavement for a variety of offences. Metics typically shared the burdens of citizenship without any of its privileges. Metics held lower social status primarily due to cultural rather than economic restraints. Metics, however, were apparently allowed to both participate and act as "choregoi".
