It is not entirely true that only freeborn men were allowed to vote. Slaves were the property of another person and therefore were not citizens and did not have the right to vote. However, freedmen (freed slaves) acquired Roman citizenship and the right to vote. However, theu did not have the right to hold public office or the priesthoods or to become senators. The future children of freedmen has full rights.
