What is it about?
The concept of citizenship, which is unknown to the states and empires of the Ancient Near East, constitutes one of the most salient features of the Greek and Roman World. This peculiarity nevertheless runs the risk of putting ancient citizenship too close to modern, which is much more connected with individual and universal rights against the power of the state.
