The Romans originally had a fairly concrete understanding of the difference between a "Roman citizen" and a person who was merely subject to Roman rule, which we would today call a "resident" or "national". Citizens were true Romans who had the right to vote and other legal privileges. Non-citizens were not truly Roman. As their empire declined, more and more subjects were granted citizenship and this distinction was lost. Big surprise, the more foreigners were accepted as "Roman", the more unstable the government became and the more quality of life declined for the true Roman people.
