Latifundia

• there were huge socioeconomic effects from the huge change in wealth. the wealthy started latifundia's which were plantations run with slave labor.
• these were cheaper to run and forced farmers to sell their land and move to Rome
• with these latifundia's, the rich kept getting richer and the poor kept getting poorer. of course the rich were happy, powerful, and greedy, but this created a corruption. the poor on the other hand were angry and caused riots.

Gracchus Brothers

• out of these riots, rose the Gracchus brothers.
• these brothers led movements for public good and redistribution of land.
• they also wanted the government to supply food to the poor and create a sort of welfare.
