Marius changed the roman army by promising land to the poor men if they became soldiers.
Near the beginning of the 1st century BC BCE, Marius was given almost unlimited powers to reorganize the legions. He introduced a cohort of approximately 550 men to 600 men and had each legion have its battle standards. This gave the men a rallying point. He had the Roman javelins break after thrown, thus disabling them to be used against his own soldiers. He abolished the use of personal weapons to allow for poorer men to join the ranks. The legions would be the main source of weapons supply. He also had the army carry equipment in their own backpacks. This left the supply wagons with less materials to carry and placed important equipment at hand for each soldier.
Another aspect of the Marius changes was to increase the loyalty of the legions to their generals rather than to the Senate. Later of course Augustus would have the military swear an oath to him rather than the Roman State.

A goal of the Great Peasants’ Revolt was
Assoli18 [71]

Peasants’ Revolt, also called Wat Tyler’s Rebellion, (1381), first great popular rebellion in English history. Its immediate cause was the imposition of the unpopular poll tax of 1381, which brought to a head the economic discontent that had been growing since the middle of the century. The rebellion drew support from several sources and included well-to-do artisans and villeins as well as the destitute. Probably the main grievance of the agricultural labourers and urban working classes was the Statute of Labourers (1351), which attempted to fix maximum wages during the labour shortage following the Black Death.

The uprising was centred in the southeastern counties and East Anglia, with minor disturbances in other areas. It began in Essex in May, taking the government of the young king Richard II by surprise. In June rebels from Essex and Kent marched toward London. On the 13th the Kentish men, under Wat Tyler (q.v.), entered London, where they massacred some Flemish merchants and razed the palace of the king’s uncle, the unpopular John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. The government was compelled to negotiate. On the 14th Richard met the men of Essex outside London at Mile End, where he promised cheap land, free trade, and the abolition of serfdom and forced labour. During the king’s absence, the Kentish rebels in the city forced the surrender of the Tower of London; the chancellor, Archbishop Simon of Sudbury, and the treasurer, Sir Robert Hales, both of whom were held responsible for the poll tax, were beheaded.
