Peregrinus (Latin: ) was the term used during the early Roman empire, from 30 BC to AD 212, to denote a free provincial subject of the Empire who was not a Roman citizen. "Peregrini" constituted the vast majority of the Empire's inhabitants in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. In AD 212, all free inhabitants of the Empire were granted citizenship by the "constitutio Antoniniana", with the exception of the "dediticii", people who had become subject to Rome through surrender in war, and freed slaves.
