Well if you have to work for others than you aren't exactly an independent person.
>>
>>3008838

Because slaves are needed for slave-related activities.

Slavery destroyed the Roman economy.
>>
>>3008895

That is true. The best economic system is when the only difference between the rich and poor people is the size of the farm, slavery throws that out of wack and concentrates money at the top.

Farming and the military are the only honorable occupations and Marius was a mistake.

Marius saved Rome. Sure he gave it cancer, but he saved it from being shot in the brain.

assuming they weren't aiming at regnum after all
>>
>>3009032

We can only speculate. But it was because of the slavery-backed latifundia estates that caused the rise of Caesar and the death of the Republic.

The Marius reforms allowed a military out of poor people, it didn't fix anything other than the military issues.
>>
>>3009049
Yeah, Marius' army was the cancer that plagued Rome until its dying day, but it also made it incredibly strong.

Nearly 1500 years isn't a bad run for a man with a death sentence
>>
>>3009061

Those reforms wouldn't have been so bad if the wealth elite didn't own all the land and unemploy all the small-time roman farmers.

When the people are more loyal to popular army commanders than to the state, then its when your republic is in trouble.
>>
>>3009107
The people would have followed generals regardless of the wealthy. Nobody is going to say no to the opportunity of getting better shit.
