What is your definition of "Roman citizen"?

 

[Rotam]

You know, those who had citizenship within the Roman Empire (since we are talking in AD). Civis Romanus sum... That would define better the time frame. Maybe i should rephrase: Did he have Roman citizenship?

[Perun]

No, it's not. Roman citizenship is a very well-defined thing. Did he possess it or not?

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Yes, just to confirm those other points (> Mongolian & Military).

I'm sorry, the mathematician in me can't let that symbol abuse stand. You could have used ~,

, ≠, =/= or even the horrible <>, but > isn't right.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

No, it's not. Roman citizenship is a very well-defined thing. Did he possess it or not?

So to answer your question, Rotam:

Did he have Roman citizenship?

9. No, he did not have Roman citizenship...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I'm sorry, the mathematician in me can't let that symbol abuse stand. You could have used ~,

, ≠, =/= or even the horrible <>, but > isn't right.

Tough shit.
