What was a Roman citizen? Answers to the question can follow a number of different lines of approach. One which is currently very influential is via the examination of the characteristics of Roman society and life in ‘Roman’ communities; the emphasis is not so much on citizenship as on ‘Romanness’. The definition of ‘Roman’ can be constructed, for example, by reference to the foreign, Hellenic model, cultural and also institutional, which the Romans both infiltrated and dominated, and at the same time absorbed and assimilated. It is possible therefore to study the subject from two angles, i.e. the ‘Hellenisation’ of the Romans, or the ‘Romanisation’ of their Eastern empire and its neighbours.
