Who was not considered a roman citizen?

Initially there were four types of citizenship: Roman citizenship with and without the right to vote (the latter was given to Italic peoples who were annexed to the Roman state when Rome expanded into Italy), Latin rights (a limited range of rights that Roman citizens enjoyed granted to Italic peoples who were allies) and the provincials. The latter were the peoples of the conquered areas outside Italy. They were not Roman citizens, but, like the Roman citizens, enjoyed the protection of Roman civil law through the work praefect peregrinus, the chief of justice for foreigners. These categories of citizenship applied only to the freeborn and freedmen. Thus, although Roman citizens were only freeborn Romans, other freeborn peoples and freedmen within the empire enjoyed some of the rights conferred to Roman citizens. Roman citizenship was extended to all freeborn Italians and, eventually, to the all the freeborn people in the empire. At that point only slaves were not citizens. Freedmen in Roman cities and colonies became Roman citizens. With the extension of citizenship, freedmen in the whole empire became Roman citizens.

What type of ruling did Athens have?

Athens is a very old city. I the time before the Roman Empire it was one of many states and each state would have one larger city and a few small town. That's that it was like for most of Europe around that time. Each state would have a leader who had inherited the leader position names for these leader are varied but it was the same job. Be it they where called a King a Governor a Clan Chief a Lord, etc... In the days of the Roman Empire Athens was just one of many cities under Roman rule and so it would have been ruled by a Governor appointed by the Emperor of Rome at the time.


How did king Clovis react to roman customs in his kingdom?

The Franks had been allowed to settle in the Toxandria (northern Belgium and Holland south of the River Rhine) area of the Roman Empire in 358, 141 years before the beginning of the reign of Clovis. They had been allies of the Romans until the demise of the western part of the Roman Empire. They had had a tradition of fighting alongside the Romans as allied troops and supplying the Roman army with soldiers. In the last decades of the western part of the Roman Empire some of the commanders-in-chief of the Roman army were Franks. Therefore, the Franks were quite romanised. The only issue Clovis had was religion. For some time he resisted his wife's call to convert to Catholicism, preferring to remain a pagan. However, in the end he did convert.
