A widening gap between the rich and the poor is the condition that contributed to eventual downfall of the republic
As Rome grew, the gap between rich and poor grew wider. Many of Rome´s rich landowners lived on huge estates. Thousands of enslaved persons—many of whom had been captured peoples in various wars—were forced to work on these estates. Small farmers found it difficult to compete with the large estates run by the labor of enslaved people. Many of these farmers were former soldiers. A large number of them sold their land to wealthy landowners and became homeless and jobless.
Two brothers, Tiberius and Gaius attempted to help Rome´s poor. As tribunes they proposed such reforms as limiting the size of estates and giving land to the poor.
Rome's increasingly wealth and expanding boundaries brought many problems. The most serious were growing discontent among the lower classes of society and a breakdown in military order. These problems led to a shake of the republic and the emergence of a new political system

Answer:
The area called the Fertile Crescent was home to early civilization. All of the following contributed to the rich and fertile soil in the region except the Zagros and Taurus mountains, which protected the area from undesirable and harsh weather.
Explanation:
The Fertile Crescent is a place where thousands of years ago there were suitable conditions for the birth of civilization. It was an area very suitable for agriculture. Its territory extends from the African Nile in the west, through Cyprus, through the Mesopotamian lowlands and further along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers to the southeast to the Persian Gulf, to the foot of the Iranian highlands.
The area was suitable for agriculture as it was characterized by limited but regular rainfall. The Fertile Crescent is, or was, in reality not a particularly fertile region. However, it was a good place for the emergence of agriculture because there are many plant species suitable for domestication. Precisely because there was a relatively dry climate, there were very many types of grass present from which different types of grain could be domesticated.
