What was the inspiration for the law of nations?
The Roman's law of nations (jus gentium) originated form the principle of natural law. Nation was the Latin word for ethnicity and jus gentium was a sort of natural law in that it was regarded as innate in every human being. Roman law was based on the principle of rights (jus means rights). The rights conferred by jus gentium were considered to be held by all persons. They were based on the notion that the concept of justice sprung from the human mind rather than ethnicity and that it applied to everyone, regardless of citizenship or ethnicity. Through this, the provincials (the conquered peoples) and the citizens of the client states of Rome enjoyed the protection of Roman civil law in their dealings with Roman citizens. Cases between Romans and non-Romans were adjudicated by the praetor peregrino, the chief justice for foreigners, who was supposed base his rulings on fairness and on Roman civil law under the principle of the jus gentium. The law of nations within the Roman Empire became redundant in 215 A.D. when the emperor Caracalla extended Roman citizenship to all freeborn men in the empire.

What rights and responsibilities did Rome extends to conquest people?
Until 212 AD, non-Romans within the empire enjoyed the rights of jus gentium. This is usually translated as law of nations as a matter of convenience. However, in antiquity nations in the modern sense of nation-state did not exist. The Latin word natio (plural nationes) roughly means race, breed, a people. The word gentium is derived from clan, tribe, a people. In this case both words refer to ethnicity. Ancient peoples distinguished other peoples along ethnic lines. Jus Gentium was not a statutory (written) law.The Roman jurist Gaius defined the jus gentium as what "natural reason has established among all peoples … [and is] the law observed by all mankind." He distinguished between civil law, which applied to the citizens (cives) of a state, and jus gentium. Gaius wrote "Every people that is governed by statutes and customs observes partly its own peculiar law and partly the common law of all mankind." A people established its own law which was the law of its state, but it also observed this 'common law of mankind'. Cicero described it as a higher law of moral obligation binding human beings beyond the requirements of civil law. Jus Gentium was not a statutory (written) law. This principle enabled the Romans to extend the protections of Roman laws to foreigners in their dealings with Roman citizens. It sort of internationalised Roman law. It applied to private individuals and pertained particularly to contracts and property transfers. Cases between Romans and non-Romans were adjudicated by the praetor peregrino (the chief justice for foreigners) who was supposed base his rulings on fairness and on Roman civil law. The notion of jus gentium arose with the increase of commerce with non-Romans and the need for a fair framework for these transactions. It was inspired by the egalitarian and cosmopolitan principles of stoic philosophy which saw people as citizens of the world as well as their gentes, as brothers and as equals; "as member[s] of the great city of gods and men, whereof the city political is only a copy." (Epicetus).The principle of jus gentium was applied to the provincials, (conquered gentes/ethnicities, the non-Romans of the empire) for their dealings with Romans. At the local level, they were allowed to continue to follow their customs, their laws and religions, and their elites run local affairs. This changed in 212 AD when the emperor Caracalla extended full Roman citizenship to all freeborn inhabitants of the empire and the provinciales enjoyed the same rights as the Romans.
