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.
