Summary In this work, Nathan Rosenstein challenges the claim that during and after the Hannibalic War, the Roman Republic's need to conscript men for military service helped bring about the demise of Italy's small farms and that the misery of impoverished citizens then became fuel for the social and political conflagrations of the late republic.
