Be a good citizen in ancient Pompeii
Citizens in Roman all had responsibilities, they all had to pay tax and the men had to do a term of military services
suffragium is the right to vote
commercium means the right to make contracts
conubium means the right to contract a legal marriage
There were a lot of complicated list of rules which determined if you were a Roman citizen or not.Someone could be considered a Roman by virtue of someones birth if some circumstances were made. If both father and mother had conubium the the child was considered a citizen and would hold social class of the child's father (e.g., eques, patrician, plebeian)
If a Roman mother was to have a child which was outside of the conubium, then the child would take the mothers statues, but if the mother was not a Roman citizen that would mean that the child is not, they could even become slaves. Children that were born to Roman legionaries during their military services were not considered to be Roman citizens. It was illegal for Legionaries to get married while they were serving there 20 year tour of duty. The child that is born is to take after there mothers nationality even if born in Roman they still could not be considered a Roman citizen.
