Citizenship:
the rights and privileges of a citizen in distinction from a foreigner (Luk 15:15; 19:14; Act 21:39). Under the Mosaic law non-Israelites, with the exception of the Moabites and the Ammonites and others mentioned in Deu 23:1-3, were admitted to the general privileges of citizenship among the Jews (Exd 12:19; Lev 24:22; Num 15:15; 35:15; Deu 10:18; 14:29; 16:10,14).
The right of citizenship under the Roman government was granted by the emperor to individuals, and sometimes to provinces, as a favour or as a recompense for services rendered to the state, or for a sum of money (Act 22:28). This "freedom" secured privileges equal to those enjoyed by natives of Rome. Among the most notable of these was the provision that a man could not be bound or imprisoned without a formal trial (Act 22:25,26), or scourged (16:37). All Roman citizens had the right of appeal to Caesar (25:11).
