Answer:

Citizenship in Ancient Rome was mainly applied to men, and not slaves or women. The men had to be 18 years of age, or older, to become a citizen. At around AD 212, citizenship was extended to all the free people of the empire.

In the late Republic, male slaves who were granted their freedom could become full citizens. Around 90 B.C.E., non-Roman allies of the Republic gained the rights of citizenship, and by 212 C.E, under the Edict of Caracalla, all free people of the Roman Empire could become citizens.
