Tribes (Latin: tribus) were groupings of citizens in ancient Rome, originally based on location. Voters were eventually organized by tribes, with each Roman tribe having an equal vote in the Tribal Assembly .
A Roman denarius of 63 BC: a voter casting a ballot. A tribus, or tribe, was a division of the Roman people for military, censorial, and voting purposes. When constituted in the comitia tributa, the tribes were the voting units of a legislative assembly of the Roman Republic.
Nearly all of these peoples and tribes spoke Indo-European languages: Italics, Celts, Ancient Greeks, and tribes likely occupying various intermediate positions between these language groups. On the other hand, some Italian peoples (such as the Rhaetians , Camuni , Etruscans ) likely spoke non- or pre-Indo-European languages .
Sometimes, a town could be assigned to an existing tribe on the basis that it was the same radial direction from Rome as the existing tribe. [59] Other times, tribes expanded contiguously but with little attention paid to radial direction, such as along the Tyrrhenian coast. [60]

The Roman people was the body of Roman citizens (Latin: Rōmānī; Ancient Greek: Ῥωμαῖοι Rhōmaîoi) [a] during the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire. This concept underwent considerable changes throughout the long history of the Roman civilisation, as its borders expanded and contracted.
Rome was thus about half the size of contemporary Athens (585 hectares, including Piraeus) and far larger than any other Latin city.
