The Romans had several categories of citizenship. A citizen of the first class was one who had the right to vote and the right to hold public office. He was usually a native Roman whose parents were also Roman citizens. He not only had the forementioed rights, but was also free from torture and certain forms of execution. He enjoyed the rights of trade and property and designating heirs--in other words he had all the civil rights. Then there was the citizen of the second class who also enjoyed the civil rights and the right to trade or do business while not being able to vote or hold public office. There was a third class of citizenship in which a person had in addition to the civil rights, only the right to do business or the right to trade. Note that the categories of citizenship are different from the social classes of patrician, plebeian, equite, etc.
