Within the time of the republican, Rome had grew from a little city to a big empirethat surrounded the whole Mediterranean (Coats 2013)
Accomplishments and influence of captured trade routes gave incredible riches and
fields to Rome. Oot, taxes, and commerce brought in riches for officers,
administrators, and merchants. A new generation of wealthy Romans emerged.
They designed shower houses and packed them with imported eastern
extravagances. Large farming domains, known as latifundia, were raised by wealthy
families. As the Romans conquered an ever-increasing amount of landscapes, they
enslaved those caught up in the fighting to work as slaves on the latifundia. Around
33% of Italy's kin remained in slavery by the republic's final days.
Regarding its remarkable successes, Rome faced a fate that would be disastrous to
the city-state. Nonetheless, understanding the disintegration of the Roman republic
necessitates understanding how Rome came to be in the place it did and what
ultimately exacerbated the negative consequences. To do so, a study of how Rome
became the most appealing of all cities is needed. This presentation would look at
how Rome came to dominance, lost its high ground, and was ripped apart as a result
of its power and enormity.
As the ending of both the Punic and Macedonian Wars, the Roman victories came to
an end, as well as the city-state gained enormous influence, a massive amount of
territory, and a large number of new inhabitants who vowed to make Rome their
home. They grew into a politically powerful country that took inspiration from the
many places they conquered and protected, including most of what is now known as
the ancient world. Regrettably, with this influence, the Romans remained a narrow-
minded group of people who tried to keep their legislative problems under control.
Different negative consequences resulted, resulting in a severe ideological divide as
well as opposition among the assembling leaders. The Roman republic will come to
an end as a result of this.
For its newfound influence, Rome had to alter a lot of its strategies for handling
people's unions. The newly acquired Roman city was never taken back into the
territory.
