Latin Rights (Latin: ''ius Latii'', ''Latinitas''〔''Latinitas'' also means "purity of language," that is, the use of "good Latin" or "correct Latin," equivalent to ''hellenismos''; see for instance Laurent Pernot, ''Rhetoric in Antiquity'' (Catholic University of America Press, 2005), p. 103 (online ); Richard Leo Enos, "Rhetorica ad Herennium," in ''Classical Rhetorics and Rhetoricians'' (Greenwood, 2005), p. 332 (online ); John Richard Dugan, ''Making a New Man: Ciceronian Self-Fashioning in the Rhetorical Works'' (Oxford University Press, 2005), ''(passim )''; Brian A. Krostenko, ''Cicero, Catullus, and the Language of Social Performance'' (University of Chicago Press, 2001), p. 123 (online. )〕 or ''ius latinum'') was a civic status given by the Romans, intermediate between full Roman citizenship and non-citizen status (known as ''peregrinus''), and extended originally to the people of Latium (the ''Latini''). The most important Latin Rights were ''commercium'', ''connubium'', and ''ius migrationis''. * ''Commercium'' allowed Latins to own land in any of the Latin cities and to make legally enforceable contracts with their citizens. * ''Connubium'' permitted them to make a lawful marriage with a resident of any other Latin city. * ''Ius migrationis'' gave people with Latin status the capacity to acquire citizenship of another Latin state simply by taking up permanent residence there. People with Latin Rights were protected under Roman law. ==Origin of Latin Rights== The Latin War (340-338 BC) was a conflict between the Roman Republic and the people of Latium. The war ended with a Roman victory and the dissolution of the Latin League, a confederation of about 30 villages in the province of Latium. With this victory, some city-states were fully incorporated into the Roman Republic, while others were given limited rights and privileges which could be exercised in dealings with Roman citizens, which came to be known as the ''Latin right''. The Latin right subsequently was extended to other Latin colonies in the 3rd century BC, and later to cities which had no connection with the ancient Latins: in 171 BC, the city of Carteia (now San Roque, Spain) was founded as the first Latin colony outside of Italy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Latin Rights」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
