∙ 9y agoThere were not any specific groups which had full Roman citizenship. All freeborn men born in Rome or in her colonies (Roman settlements outside Rome) were Roman citizens.
In the fourth century BC the Romans gave full Roman citizenship to a number of other Latin cities. They also gave full Roman citizenship to officials who headed Italian towns which were allied to Rome up to 90 BC.
In 90 BC full roman citizenship was extended to all Italians, except for those in northern Italy. Julius Caesar granted full Roman citizenship to the peoples of northern Italy (Gallia Cisalpina). The Romans also started granting full Roman citizenship to prominent men in the provinces (conquered territories) of the empire. In 212 AD the emperor Caracalla granted full Roman citizenship to all freeborn people in the whole of the Roman Empire.
