There were a number of ways to become a Roman citizen. One could, of course, be born a citizen if one were freeborn of citizen parents. When Rome took over the Oscans, Umbrians, and other peoples of the Italian peninsula, citizenship was granted to these people at once in order to create loyalty. Non-citizens from allied "barbarian" cultures could become citizens by serving in the legions. Citizenship could be granted either wholesale or selectively to newly conquered peoples such as the Gauls. Finally, one could be manumitted from slavery by a master or mistress who was a citizen.
