They became U.S Citizens
The peoples of the conquered territories became the inhabitants of the provinces of the Roman Empire. Many of them were not citizens because they did not have the concept of citizenship. From 212 BC they became Roman citizens because the emperor Caracalla extended Roman citizens to all free men in the empire.
In order for the citizens to direct goernment directly - the citizens met in fortnightly assembly and made decisions and gave directions which were implemented by the Council. It was designed to eliminate political self interest, but the people became vulnerable to the eloquence of cunning orators such as Pericles, embroiling them in war and risky adventurism with seriously bad results.
