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.
