Gli studi sulla cittadinanza romana prima e dopo le ricerche di Giorgio Luraschi

The purpose of the essay is to proceed to an overview of Giorgio Luraschi’s researches about the Roman citizenship, compared to the previous studies on it, and to check how they have been discussed by Scholars. The analysis of leges de civitate issued between 90 and 89, to which Giorgio Luraschi paid much attention, done, Luraschi’s thought on the gain of Roman citizenship by strangers (with brief references to the loss of civitas) is systematically organized, inspecting the characters of the procedure and the effects of citizens’ registers, not bypassed ways in which Latins could reach Roman citizenship, in force of ius migrandi (and the connected effects of citizens’ registers in that particular issue) and of ius adispicendae civitatis per magistratum (and the related topic of double citizenship in late republican times), and ending with the exclusion of the gain of Roman citizenship by birth in the particular matter ruled by the lex Minicia de liberis, as conceived, in relation to the date, object and people interested by the law, by Giorgio Luraschi (and other Scholars).
