Where did poor farmers work in Rome?

Poor Roman farmers worked on small plots of land in the countryside of Rome and Italy and in various places around the Roman Empire. During the Rome's expansion into Italy, Rome established many colonies (settlement) to gain control over the lands they gained control of. Many Roman farmers went there to set up small farms. Colonies were also established outside Italy when Rome expanded beyond this peninsula. When the Roman army became professional, many colonies were founded to settle retired soldiers who were given a plot of land to farm on discharge. They were dotted around the empire.
