Roman citizens had a number of rights and enjoyed the protection of Roman law. The right of Roman citizens were:
Ius suffragiorum: The right to vote in the Roman assemblies.
Ius honorum: The right to stand for civil or public office.
Ius commercii: The right to make legal contracts and to hold property as a Roman citizen.
Ius migrationis: The right to preserve one's level of citizenship upon relocation to a polis of comparable status. If a Roman citizen moved to a Roman colony (settlement) he would retain his Roman citizenship. However, this right did not preserve one's level of citizenship should one relocate to a colony of lesser legal status. Thus, if a Roman moved to a Latin colony, his citizenship was reduced to Latin citizenship, a citizenship status with fewer rights.
The right of immunity from some taxes and other legal obligations, especially local rules and regulations.
The right to sue in the courts and the right to be sued.
The right to have a legal trial (to appear before a proper court and to defend oneself).
The right to appeal from the decisions of magistrates and to appeal the lower court decisions.
A Roman citizen could not be tortured or whipped, nor could he receive the death penalty, unless he was found guilty of treason.
If accused of treason, a Roman citizen had the right to be tried in Rome, and even if sentenced to death, no Roman citizen could be sentenced to die on the cross.
