As Rome conquered more and more land, they forced more people to become slaves. The widespread use of slaves has hurt small farmers and workers. While these small farmers and workers used to make enough money to provide for themselves and their families, they are unable to produce food and products cheaper than slave owners can. As a result, they lose their farms and their jobs. With no place to go, these people join the farmers whose lands were burnt by Hannibal on the streets of Rome. There two groups of people make up a restless, homeless, unemployed class of people. As the gap between rich and poor widens, angry mobs begin to riot in the street. What would you do to solve this issue?
