Question

What is one of the reasons that poverty increased toward the end of the Roman Republic

Answer 1

Answer: Citizens of Rome lost their land after many years of drought.

Men who fought in wars could not take care of their farms and often lost their land. The plebeians became powerful but could not govern well.

There was no authority in place to stop soldiers from robbing wealthy Romans.

The Roman Republic lost the territories from which it received most of its taxes.
