Answer 2

c. The tax burden on citizens in Rome was too high.

Explanation:

• Over the years, the Roman tax system had changed a lot and has varied from region to place. After Egypt was conquered by the Romans, the existing tax system was adopted.
• The govt imposed taxes on almost everything such as farming, wealth, land, livestock, people, food, beverages, fish, and much more. Almost all business exchanges were taxed. The tributun, a tax  that was imposed on material wealth was the most important tax in ancient Rome..
• Citizens of Rome didn't have to pay the tributun tax except for periods of financial need, while non-citizens in Roman territories had to pay taxes on all of their belongings
• The fall of the ancient Rome was mainly because of excessive regime. Inflation and high taxation were brought about which undermined Rome's economic power and finally prevented the Western empire from being able to defend themselves.
