Originally, a Roman citizen was a male who was freeborn and born in Rome or was the son of a Roman family which had settled elsewhere in the empire. In 90 BC Roman citizenship was extended to Rome's Italic allies in central and southern Italy. A Roman citizen enjoyed the rights and protections of Roman law, could vote and run for office, sue, stand trial, and was exempt from torture and crucifixion.
Roman women had limited Roman citizenship in that they enjoyed the rights and protections of Roman law, but did not have the right to vote or run for public office.
Freedmen who lived in the city of Rome were given Roman citizenship by virtue of permanent residence in Rome.

The Roman Republic lasted from the time of the kings until the civil wars in the first century BCE.
