page 217 note 4 Domus in this sense, denoting the Roman citizen's place of local citizenship, is not, so far as I know, found in Ciceronian times. In C. Balb. 11. 28 domus occurs in connexion with citizenship other than, and incompatible with, Roman citizenship. The use in connexion with Roman citizenship is found in inscriptions, some of them belonging to the first century of our era; especially in the case of legionary soldiers and centurions is the name of the town to which man belonged, or wasascribed, frequently given, and sometimes with domo prefixed (see Mommsen, Staatsr. 3. 781). Domus does not occur in the locusclassicus for the two patriae, C. legg. 2. 2. 5; but it should be noted that the second patria there is considered as the place of birth (the domus in the technical sense would not necessarily be this), and that it is a question of affection, not of political rights.

page 217 note 5 The phrase would be technically correct if used in the sense of (Roman) citizenship belonging to the people of Antium.
