I'm sorry to say, Smiler, Robbie's probably right for once. Roman Citizenship was distinct from being a citizen of a country under Roman jurisdiction, and was very hard to earn. What I'm unsure about is whether he was a full Roman Citizen, or whether he held the Latin Right, which was a kind of halfway-house between non-citizenship and being a full Citizen. Ordinary people in a subjugated country probably wouldn't really appreciate the difference, or could be blinded to it. It wasn't uncommon for LR holders to claim to their peers to be RCs, to enhance their standing, but they definitely wouldn't try that to an official, at least not if they valued their life or position.
