The article is devoted to the theoretical understanding of the characteristic fundamental features of citizenship as an exclusive legal form, the prototype of which was Roman citizenship. In fact, Ancient Rome was and continues to be a role model in state building. Analysis and drawing Parallels between the current state of the institution of citizenship and the citizenship of Roman antiquity helps to identify positive trends in development and understand the essence and key role of this institution of constitutional law as a unique multidimensional phenomenon. The study of the legal experience and heritage of Ancient Rome, an appeal to the origins, are necessary to resolve conflicts of legislation and determine the right direction of development and the correct setting of priorities in the field of constitutional and legal regulation in the sphere of citizenship.
