In the early Roman Empire, the population was composed of several groups of distinct legal standing, including the Roman citizens themselves ( cives romani), the provincials ( provinciales), foreigners ( peregrini) and free non-citizens such as freedmen (freed slaves) and slaves. Roman citizens were subject to the Roman legal system while provincials were subject to whatever laws and legal systems had been in place in their area at the time it was annexed by the Romans. Over time, Roman citizenship was gradually extended more and more and there was a regular "siphoning" of people from less privileged legal groups to more privileged groups, increasing the total percentage of subjects recognised as Romans though the incorporation of the provinciales and peregrini. [50] The capability of the Roman Empire to integrate foreign peoples was one of the key elements that ensured its success. In antiquity, it was significantly easier as a foreigner to become a Roman than it was to become a member or citizen of any other contemporary state. This aspect of the Roman state was seen as important even by some of the emperors. [51] For instance, Emperor Claudius ( r.41–54) pointed it out when questioned by the senate on admitting Gauls to join the senate: [51]What is the average ? It’s hard to answer that precisely from the available sample, but “three or four times a month”, “every couple of days” and “at least once a day” are common responses. Caló Levi, Annalina (1952).

The role of Roman men in society was considerably higher than women and slaves. The society was composed of free men as well as slaves and there were thousands of slaves in the empire. These slaves were an important factor that sustained the economy of the empire. Free men married in their late teens and early twenties and choose their partners very carefully because divorce was rare in ancient Rome and was probably considered a taboo. Men of lower classes were usually farmers, shopkeepers, or craftsmen. In the afternoons, gatherings took place at public baths, theatres, and other places of socialisation. Typical day in the life of a Roman man

A variety of jobs were available for any man from ancient Rome and some of the most common jobs included farming, trading, construction work, and military. Men of upper classes worked as politicians and in administration. Roman men in the urban centres were mostly involved in trading and merchandise while men in the countryside worked as farmers. Ancient Rome was a society where a man’s role was far more important than that of a woman’s. They had absolute authority over the family and in certain instances could even sell their children into slavery. The public life of ancient Rome was also largely but not exclusively reserved for men. Like other conventional societies, men in ancient Rome enjoyed the status of power. It was also men who mainly worked in agriculture, trade, and other professions. In urban centres, there were various places for mingling and socialisation for men of ancient Rome. For much of its history, the populace of the Byzantine Empire firmly believed that the western empire, and other territories, would eventually be reconquered. As late as the middle of the 12th-century, the Byzantine princess Anna Komnene wrote that if her father, emperor Alexios I Komnenos ( r.1081–1118), "had not been hindered by unfavourable circumstances, he would have rightfully restored Roman rule over the whole former Roman world, up to the limits of the Atlantic Ocean in the west and India in the east".
