Latin power - ius Latii (English spelling)

Japanese: ラテン権 - らてんけん（英語表記）ius Latii ラテン語

The rights granted to Latins by the Roman Empire after 338 B.C. These rights included the right of intermarriage, which allowed legal marriage between the two groups, the right of commerce, which allowed trade on an equal footing, and the right of residence for Latins in Rome. During the Republic, this represented a privileged status over other allies or foreigners, but during the Empire it became an inferior right given to foreigners (provincial citizens). However, Roman citizenship was granted to city magistrates, and later, from the 2nd century onwards, it was also granted to city council members, and the two were distinguished by the terms Little Latin and Great Latin.

古代ローマが前338年以降ラテン人に対して認めた権利。両者間で合法的な結婚ができる通婚権，対等な商取引ができる通商権，ラテン人のローマでの居住権等が含まれる。共和政期には，他の同盟国ないし外国人に対し特権的地位を表したが，帝政期には外国人(属州民)に対し与えられる劣等の権利となった。ただしそのさい都市政務官にはローマ市民権が付与され，のち2世紀以降，それは都市参事会議員にも付与されるようになり，両者を区別して前者を小ラテン権，後者を大ラテン権と称した。
