The 2nd Century BCE absorption of the traditional small farm and comon land in Italy by the large land owners had the follow on effct of their using cheap slave labour, the availability and cost of which was greatly improved as the empire expanded.
This phase lasted for five centuries when and alterative and cheaper solution progressivly emerged - serfdom. The serf was semi-free, bound to the land, replaced himsef, looked after, fed and housed himself, reproduced and so replaced himself, and paid a percentage of his earnings/production to the landowner - a no cost, no worry outcome, replacing having to buy, care for, accomodate and replace slaves.
