5/6

Roman Army:

  • 5000 soldiers, not in it for pay (yet)
  • had a very heavy infantry 
  • recruited exclusively from Roman citizens
  • slaves started pouring into Italy 
  • By the end of the second century BCE, there were over a million slaves in Italy
  • Latifundia- big farms that were taken over by someone with more power and the farms became massive estates.
