Roman citizenship
All the "Latini" of Italy obtained Roman citizenship as a result of three laws which were introduced during the Social War between the Romans and their allies among the Italic peoples ("socii") which rebelled against Rome. The "Lex Iulia de Civitate Latinis (et sociis) Danda" of 90 BC conferred Roman citizenship on all citizens of the Latin towns and the Italic towns who had not rebelled. The "Lex Plautia Papiria de Civitate Sociis Danda" of 89 BC granted Roman citizenship to all federated towns in Italy south of the River Po (in northern Italy). The "Lex Pompeia de Transpadanis" of 89 BC granted the "ius Latii" to the communities of Transpadania, a region north of the Po, which had sided with Rome during the Social War. It also granted Roman citizenship to those who became officials in their respective "municipia" (cities).
