Answer:

During the period of the republic (753–31 BCE), the jus civile (civil law) developed. Based on custom or legislation, it applied exclusively to Roman citizens. … Roman law, like other ancient systems, originally adopted the principle of personality—that is, that the law of the state applied only to its citizens.
