Talk:Freedman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ooh I can't wait to start on this :)
Current article says:
It was the exceptional feature of ancient Rome that almost all slaves freed by Roman owners automatically received Roman citizenship.
And yet on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manumission it says;
In Rome former slaves... did not gain all the rights of a Roman citizen.
This disparity needs to be corrected or better explained.
