The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The crisis was rooted in deep structural tensions, chief among them the breakdown of the political code known as the mos maiorum, widening inequality among wealth and land, and class conflict between the traditional aristocracy and those who sought power by championing the cause of the common people.
- These factors were compounded over time as leaders like Marius, Sulla, Pompey, and Julius Caesar established armies personally devoted to them rather than the state.
- Traditionally, the expansion of citizenship was viewed negatively by the contemporary Sallust, the modern Edward Gibbon, and others of their respective schools, both ancient and modern, because it caused internal dissension, disputes with Rome's Italian allies, slave revolts, and riots.
