Answer:
war
Step-by-step explanation:
To compensate for the loss of war profits, Rome turned to a tax system that proved to be so profitable that it stopped collecting taxes from Roman citizens. This led to discontent in the provinces. Not only were they carrying the tax burden of the entire Republic, but the taxing system was corrupt. Containing the skirmishes in the provinces also proved difficult since Rome struggled to find personnel for its army. Soldiers felt they worked too hard for the small wages they received. Rome tried to establish a draft to fill the military positions, but it used land records to draft men. To avoid the draft, the men abandoned their land, which left them without a means to make money. This further drained the Republic's treasury.
