legislation enhanced the importance of citizenship. Laws on
manumission have a particular interest and significance for
creating a newly-defined spectrum of statuses, which we can see at
work (for instance) in Herculaneum on the eve of the eruption of
Vesuvius. Redefined citizenship, this paper suggests, was one of
the fundamental instruments, the arcana imperii, by which the
Augustan order structured and controlled imperial society.
