When I heard Paul and Silias claiming that they are Roman Citizens, was very surprised. Before I learned about specific rights Roman Citizens had in my class, I assumed that Roman Citizenship wasn't that important. However, I learned that Roman Citizenship is very very hard to achieve. Especially when Roman built an empire and extended many provinces. First of all, Roman Citizenship shows that they have great power and wealth. Second, being Romans Citizen in this kind of rural area shows even greater wealth and power.

In Acts 16, passage tells us the story of Paul and Silas being captured by Roman magisteratesand tortured and prisoned. When they were prisoned, Angel came down to the prison and opened the prison doors for Peter and Silas. So the guards were trying to kill themselves assuming the prisoners ran away. However, Paul and Silas didn't run away instead they stayed and told the guards to believe in Jesus Christ. After that night, Roman magisterates heard about this and they ordered Paul and Silias to be released. End of the Acts 16, Paul says that Roman magisterates should come to them and escort them out because they tortured and prisoned Roman Citizens without any trials.
