State of Rome (Roman State) refers to Ancient Rome as a nation-state, that is, a country. As a result, a person born in Syria would be a Roman although he was born nowhere near the city of Rome. Furthermore, the capital of the Roman state was not always the city of Rome. For example, the capital was moved to Ravenna in the later stages of the western Roman Empire.
The state of Rome could refer to
- the Roman Republic
- the Roman Empire
