"The term Municipium appears to have been applied originally
to those conquered Italian towns which Rome included in her
dominion without conferring on the people the Roman suffrage
and the capacity of attaining the honours of the Roman state.
… If the inhabitants of such Municipia had everything Roman
except the right to vote and to be eligible to the Roman
magistracies, they had Commercium and Connubium. By virtue of
the first, such persons could acquire property within the
limits of the Roman state, and could dispose of it by sale,
gift, and testament. By virtue of the second, they could
contract a legal marriage with the daughter of a Roman
citizen."
