Death comes to us all. Life's but a walking shadow
My daughter is studying World History and she came home and explained to me that the reason the Roman Republic fell was that Hanibal destroyed the farms in the countryside, the farmers who made up the majority of the citizen army were driven off the land, the Roman Senate made up of the wealthly, instead of helping them rebuild took over the land, forced the farmer into the cities, To get food they became the hired soliders of the various generals aka, the legions and the rest is history.
