Summary/Abstract: Citizenship is a political and legal relationship between a person and a state. The expression Civis Romanus sum! declares the full realization of the rights of the Roman citizen in the Roman state and guarantees him immunity during his stay outside Rome. This understanding of citizenship is carried over into the modern state and as an social institution has played an important role. In Roman law Status includes three main elements inherent in every person – freedom (Status libertatis), Roman citizenship (Status civitatis) and marital status (Status familiae), and the change in this status leads to loss of civil rights (capitis deminutio). The modern elements of the status of Bulgarian citizens will also be considered.
