About this ebook
Roman Citizenship Meaning explores the evolution and impact of Roman citizenship, from its origins in the Republic to its widespread extension across the Roman Empire. This book examines how citizenship was not merely a legal status, but a strategic instrument used by Rome to consolidate power, foster loyalty, and assimilate conquered peoples. It highlights the rights and responsibilities inherent in citizenship, such as legal protections and military service, and how these varied across different regions and social classes. The book traces the expansion of Roman citizenship, including key events like the Social War and the Constitutio Antoniniana, which granted citizenship to nearly all free inhabitants of the empire. By drawing on diverse primary sources and engaging with contemporary scholarship, this study offers a nuanced understanding of what it meant to be Roman. Each chapter progresses through the historical context, expansion, and specific rights and responsibilities that accompanied Roman citizenship, ultimately revealing its lasting influence on subsequent legal and political systems.
