Economy & company

• Reform of the Roman army by Marius: opened with all, it becomes a professional army enrôlement recruited by voluntary. This reform devotes a long evolution (proletarianization of the army and progressive impoverishment of the rural middle-class). This professional army, which will make the Empire, will cease being with the service of legality to stick to the fortune of its chief. It will be one of the instruments of the personal capacity.

• the Serment of Tebtynis is imposed to the peasants of Egypt to bind them to the ground: “Until I pour my tenant farming, I remain for present each day and applied to the agricultural work, without taking refuge to the crowned furnace bridge of some temple, without calling upon any protection, inventing any means of concealing me” .

• Crushed by an oppressive system and iniquitous beams, the peasants flee: it is the Anachorèse, one of the phenomena most serious of low the hellenistic time, which perdure and worsens with the Roman epoch before tinting religious value with the Anachorète S Christians. The desert provides refuge only to one negligible minority, turned over to the wandering life. It is Alexandria which attracts more the peasants deserters who find there work and the asylum of the temples. Others form bands of brigands who afflict the country.
• the village community is responsible collectively for the whole of the royalties: those which remain must pay for those which flee, which worsens dissatisfaction in the campaigns.

Births

• Servilia Caepionis
