The word for foreigners was barbarian, which the Romans borrowed from the Greeks. Before the extension of Roman citizenship to all the freeborn in the whole empire by the emperor Caracalla in 212 BC, the non-Romans who lived within the empire were called provinciales. This term indicated those who did not have Roman citizenship, but as subjects of the empire, enjoyed some legal rights in Roman law.
