-After Punic Wars Rome had the biggest empire of that time period
-War and conquest brought the traditional social order into chaos
-The people elected into the Roman Republic would use their power to their advantage and not the people's
-After the Republic ended, a monarchy was started
-The Punic Wars and other conflicts caused small farmers to be assigned to a battle instead of choosing to join
-Farmers would serve for many years and come home too find that their land has gone bad or the rich had bought it too add onto a latifundia
-The small farmers fell to the social status of a "proletarian"
-A proletarian is a person who doesn't have property but they can vote for government leaders
