 | | People who were from the Latin states were gradually granted citizenship. | | | The right to have a trial (to appear before a proper court and to defend oneself). | | | As the citizen demanded a trial (which he could later appeal and transfer to Rome), Verres denied it under the accusation of treason. |

| | Roman politicians generally agreed that the situation of the allies needed to be remedied; nonetheless considerable political uncertainty remained about how to double the number of Rome's citizens and to do so without distorting the system. | | | Progress toward citizenship depended on loyalty to Rome and on the degree to which a community adopted Roman law and Latin culture. | | | Through trial and error the Romans eventually formalized a graduated system of rights and privileges whereby communities advanced to full participation in the Roman state. |

| | The report was a reminder that citizenship considerations include legal and constitutional dimensions as well as the rights and duties derived from membership of the nation state. | | | The civil element is composed of the rights necessary for individual freedom-liberty of person, freedom of speech, thought and faith, the right to own property and to conclude valid contracts, and the right to justice. | | | Four of these were public rights: service in the army, voting in the assembly, eligibility to public office and the legal right of action and appeal. |

| | Roman owners freed their slaves in considerable numbers — either freeing them outright, or by allowing slaves to purchase their freedom. | | | Formal manumission — performed and witnessed by a magistrate — bestowed full Roman citizenship upon a freedman, with the exception that a freedman could not hold public office. | | | While Romans accepted slavery as the norm, there were those who cautioned that slaves should at least be treated fairly: |

| | It was illegal for any Roman citizen to be beaten unless it had already been proven in court that he was guilty of a serious crime. | | | V. 28, “And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom...” The chief captain, himself, was also a Roman citizen. | | | So just as the centurion did not waste time in coming to the chief captain, even so the chief captain did not waste time going to Paul to find out if her were really a Roman citizen. |

| | As an ex-slave they could be granted partial or full citizenship, therefore giving them more rights than a regular provincial. | | | For example, a person may hold the right of personal freedom through appeal (ius provocationis)but might not hold voting rights (ius suffragii), or rights to hold office (ius honorum). | | | They could be flogged for crimes (unlike citizens) and had very few legal or civil rights. |

| | Precisely what all of these were we are not certain, but we know that, by the Valerian and Porcian laws, exemption from shameful punishments, such as scourging with rods or whips, and especially crucifixion, was secured to every Roman citizen; also the right of appeal to the emperor with certain limitations. | | | Roman citizenship included also the right of appeal to the emperor in all cases, after sentence had been passed, and no needless impediment must be interposed against a trial. | | | Had it done so, Claudius Lysias would not have ordered him to be scourged, as he did, after having learned that he was a citizen of Tarsus (Acts 21:39; compare Acts 22:25). |

| | The specific class designations included Senators, Patricians, Equestrians, Plebeians, Slaves, Freedmen, and non-Roman citizens — all of which were ruled by the Emperor. | | | Roman generals also served as patroni for the peoples they conquered, and various Roman provinces or cities would often seek out an influential Senator to act as patroni and oversee their interests in Rome. | | | Roman society was also defined by an established system of patronage, in which an upper class gentleman — patroni — offered protection to freedmen, or members of the lower class — cliens. |

| | As the Roman soldiers yanked the clothes from his back, Paul asked the centurion overseeing the punishment, "Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn't even been found guilty?" (Acts 22:25, New International Version). | | | At the time, Roman citizenship was a valuable privilege conferred on those of high standing, those who had performed exceptional service for the empire or those who had paid for citizenship through what amounted to a bribe. | | | Second, if his prisoner were indeed a Roman citizen, he ran the risk of losing his position and-in a worst-case scenario -his life. |

| | But when he was in the hands of the Roman officers and authorities, and they would beat him, as at Jerusalem, he said, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?" | | | He mentioned his Roman citizenship only to insist that the authorities should proceed according to the law which bound them. | | | Seeing that Paul never made mention of his Roman citizenship except when he was a prisoner, it is evident that what little reference he did make to that citizenship does not conflict with the principle inculcated in his writings and throughout the Bible; namely, that the Christian's citizenship is heavenly and not earthly. |
