Why did people Romanise?
The Romans didn't force people to Romanise, they mostly did it of their own free will, mainly because:

  • It helped with trade if you spoke Latin.
  • The Roman army often gave soldiers land all over the empire, this meant that Romans mixed with locals a lot
  • And most importantly, if you were Romanised enough you got civil rights

Slide 13 - Diapositive

Civil rights
Dutch: burgerrechten
People in Rome who had civil rights could 
  • get a job in the government

  • profit from the roman legal system (romeinse wetten)
For the Romans this meant that conquered people could become their friends instead of enemies.
