An ancient Roman who had citizen parents was automatically a citizen. Someone could also be appointed a citizen, or an entire town, area or province could be appointed citizens. The children of freed slaves were also citizens.
Anyone who was born in the territory of Rome or who was granted Roman citizenship. The Romans gave Romans citizenship to leading people of their allies or their conquered peoples. In the first century BC they extended citizenship to all the peoples who lived in Italy. In 212 AD the Emperor Caracalla extended it to all in the empire.
Well, in Rome, during the republic period, "all citizens" could vote. But they only meant the wealthy men owning land. So, I'm guessing that the only people who could become Roman citizens were landowning men. :P
The voting rights in Ancient Rome were only citizen, patritians, could vote. also the the other only people who couldn't vote were women and young girls.
Some of the early strengths of ancient Rome was its citizen military. Land owners in ancient Rome were recruited into the legions for the purpose of defending Rome. A citizen army has a large stake in the outcomes of battles and wars as their own families and their property were at stake. Another strength was ancient Rome's legal system. It made the Roman laws fair by having many of the key laws in writing. This made enforcing the laws by judges less subjective as unlike before all Romans could read the laws.

By speaking at least a little Latin and by doing a civic service for Rome, a foreigner could become a citizen. However there were other ways. For example an entire town or territory could be granted citizenship for various reasons such as loyalty to Rome during a crises and being located on a trade route.

A Plebian

Was called a pleb(ian).
Warriors, or soldiers in ancient Rome were originally from the upper classes, such as the Patricians, because they had to arm and equip themselves and that was costly. However after the reforms of Marius, anyone who was born free and a Roman citizen could be a soldier and men from all classes enlisted. If a man wanted to join up and was not a citizen he could join the axillary.
To be a citizen in Rome, could only be men. Women and slaves were not citizens. Nobody what class you were, plebeians or patricians, if you were a man, you were considered a citizen of Rome.
depends on status. a roman citizen could kill slaves with near impunity but if a citizen killed a citizen they'd fall under similar law as if we killed someone today.
Anyone could apply to become a Roman citizen, but not everyone was accepted.
Anyone could become a citizen in ancient Rome with the exception of a slave. If the slave were freed, he too was entitled to become a citizen depending on the times. Remember though, Roman citizenship was not like present day citizenship. The Romans had several classes of citizenship with each class having differing rights.Anyone could become a citizen in ancient Rome with the exception of a slave.

Three things that a citizen could do in ancient Rome that we also do today are: to own property, to appeal a death sentence, and to make a will.
It's true that only Ancient Rome were themselves.
