Abstract
Summary A comparison is made among the three manumissions of the ius civile and it is investigated what was the moment in which the freedmen acquired Roman citizenship and could begin to exercise political rights. It is concluded that the manumissi censu acquired all political rights immediately after the manumission. The manumissi vindicta and testamento, on the other hand, acquired citizenship at the time of manumission, but had to wait for the census both to be admitted to the centuriate assembly and to be registered in the tribes (and therefore to receive the right to vote in the tribal assemblies).
