Best Answer

During the second Punic War the initial successes of the campaign Hannibal fought in Italy created deep fears that he would take Rome. It seems that he affected the traditional social order of Rome. this is suggested by the fact that laws regarding the moral behaviour of women were introduced.

Hannibal's campaign also had profound effects on the Italian economy. Many small peasants lost their land and migrated to Rome to eke out a living and lived in abject poverty. They lost their farms either because they were ravaged in the war or prolonged military service led to their neglect. This situation was made worse by a sharp increase in the supplies of slave labour as many war captives were enslaved. The owners of large landed estates had plenty of slaves to till their land and to expand their holdings. They took advantage of the situation to buy new land on the cheap.

Hannibal's campaign created a deep hatred towards the Carthaginians.
