I'm interested in the history of the role of land centralization in the fall of Rome. I'm curious if you can provide a source for further reading?

  Look at the post Punic war period. So much wealth was transferred to Rome and it had to go somewhere. Land is always a place where capital goes to hide! The money bought out smaller farmers and created the great latifundium slave estates. Some of these estates survived in various forms into the 20th century.
