Best Answer

Rome's punishment of political rebels and lower class criminals depended upon their status. Citizenship was a key factor in punishments. If a lower class criminal were a citizen he would be fined and possibly be made to do enforced labor to pay off his debt. If a non citizen, he could also be fined, flogged or even sentenced to death in the arena if his crime were one that called for capital punishment. Political rebels were a different matter. If it were a Roman citizen who was involved and he were found guilty, he could be exiled and have his property confiscated. If it were a non citizen who was the political rebel, then the punishment was extremely severe. It was usually crucifixion as the Romans liked to make an example of those who caused trouble for them in the provinces.
