Sumario:This volume examines the dynamic concept and changing reality of Romancitizenship from the perspective of the provinces in Rome's vast,multi-ethnic empire, both before and after Caracalla's grant ofuniversal citizenship in 212 CE.

Just as Roman citizenship was foreverredefining its restrictions and becoming ever-more inclusive, so theborders of the other communities to which Greeks, Christians and Jewsclaimed "citizenship" were also flexible, adaptable, dynamic.
