the punic wars had a number of important impacts to the roman society and politics. by 164 bc, rome was a very different country then before the punic wars that saw immediate and long term effects. some changes that occurred included a shift in political influence and wealth to the senatorial class, peasant community dynamics were changing with many moving to the cities, while work and food became scarcer. the wealthy benefited, with their lifestyles becoming more luxurious through the roman cultural exposure to greek influence. from this stemmed a new social climate that emerged after the many years of warfare.
