all the non italians in the roman empire came from the spain?

Question

none of them were roman by nationality only by blood

please answer this question

Answer 1

No, they came from everywhere in the empire.

Answer 2

From the 2nd Century AD every free person in the then Roman Empire was classified as a CITIZEN OF ROME - a Roman.

In one sense a Roman then is as a Roman today, born in the City of Rome and a Roman.

However, once the Romans had created their empire, they needed to keep people onside and in order to do this it was essential that the people become Romans.

Put it like this; the late Queen Juliana of the Netherlands once said, "When we are in Rome, we must be doing as are the Romans". Which pretty well sums it all up really, even if her English wasn't 100% - Got the message your maj.

The same basic rule of thumb applies to being an American or being British. Race has nothing to do with it now nor back in the glory days of Rome.

Answer 3

The roman empire was extremely diverse. Romans came from all over Europe and some from Africa and the east. Blood had nothing to do with being a Roman citizen.

Answer 4

There was no Italy at the time of the Roman Empire, but Roman citizens were from any part of the empire.

Answer 5

No. At its height, the Roman empire spread around the entire Mediterranean, much of northern Europe (to Britain), and much of the Middle East. Non-Italians living in the empire included Iberians (peoples of the Iberian peninsula), Gauls (peoples of modern-day France), Greeks, Jews, Illyrians (present-day western Balkans), Dacians (modern-day Romania), peoples of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), and many more.

Roman citizenship was often given to non-Romans living within the empire as a reward for their services to the empire. In 90 BC, though, it was given to all Italians, and in AD 212, it was given to all non-Italian freeborn peoples.

Answer 6

I suggest you look up the "Emperors of the Roman Empire", where you'll find a very long list of people from outside "geographical Italy"; then look up "the History of Rome" in general. You'll find that "Italy" was indeed a mere "geographical term" and that the Roman citizens in Republican times considered the Rubicon on the one hand and the River Po (Padus) the real border of Domestic, Romanised lands. One of Julius Caesars merits and one of the causes of Civil war, was to grant citizenship to his "Gauls" in Transpadania.
The great thing about this great Empire called Rome, was that it's citizens came from all over, with equal rights, a single language alongside their own and any religion they chose to worship. The only “must” was to serve in the Legions and pay taxes. Pity it ended as it did, but decadence just set in like slow rot – too much success.
Re: Spain - the Corn producer of Rome, alongside Egypt and to a certain extent Sicily (considered Greek because of the origin of it's citizens), was "Carthiginian" until it became Roman. "Spanish", "Italian" and other neologisms of the time, were insignificant.
Lastly, the Italians of Today (i miei cari e amabili concittadini) are the result of a long process of unification that culminated 150 years ago, and can count on a huge variety of Ancestors, from the "Ancient Roman" people to the Goths, Longobards, Franks, Normans and what have you - a lovely melting pot with extraordinary results.

Ps just a sidenote on your namesake Maximus (a "Spaniard" by birth), declared Emperor by his troops in Britain “According to Geoffrey of Monmouth's fictional Historia regum Britanniae, basis for many English and Welsh legends, Magnus (Welsh: Macsen Wledig) was king of the Brythons following the death of Octavius and a nephew of King Coel through his brother Ioelinus” Wiki – makes good reading

Answer 7

While Gaul was an important and valuable province, and the proving ground for many of Rome's leaders like Julius Caesar, it was but one of many provinces in the Empire.

Rome was unique in its time because it allowed citizenship to any who had served Rome well, regardless of birth, origin, or status.
Citizenship was an allegiance, not a birthright, although the children of Romans were born citizens, unless they were deprived of their standing and exiled for crimes against the Empire.

Answer 8

Whether you like it or not, you probably and most of this world has roman blood running through them.
Don't forget the Gauls and many other nations taken as slaves to Rome.

Yes they were roman citizens, those that licked the roman heels got status symbol. And that includes Spain.
