Economics-Conquests brought much wealth to Rome-Wealthy families bought huge estates called latifundia.
-Romans forced the people they conquered to work as slaves on the latifundia-Slave labor hurt the small farmers because it cost them more to produce food, and the price was driven down by the immense quantities coming into Rome
-Farmers fell into debt, sold their land, and moved to the city looking for work
-gap between rich and poor widens=riots and chaos27
