True. Rome's military conquests significantly impacted its economic and social structures, particularly by increasing the reliance on slavery in agricultural production. The expansion of the Republic brought vast territories and wealth, which led to an influx of enslaved people from conquered regions. This allowed large estates, known as latifundia, to thrive, as wealthy landowners invested in slave labor for agriculture, diminishing the role of free laborers and altering the social fabric of Roman society.
