Rhomaios identifies people as Roman, including individuals whose status is invoked in legal or official settings.

The term identifies persons or groups as Roman: it is used of individuals questioned, bound, or punished in official proceedings, and of Romans collectively in references to customs, authorities, visitors, and feared action.

   The singular forms identify an individual in official questioning or treatment: in Acts 22:25 the accusative singular occurs in the question about whipping an uncondemned person, and the APB renders the clause "If it is permitted for you to whip a Roman human and uncondemned?" In Acts 22:27 and Acts 22:29, the nominative singular is used in the exchange and report concerning whether the man is Roman; plural forms also identify groups in statements about customs and public action, as in Acts 16:21 and John 11:48.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with "Roman" or "Romans," and in Acts 16:37 and Acts 23:27 it expands the setting with "Roman citizens" or "a Roman citizen." Those fuller phrasings show the verse's presentation rather than a fixed rendering of the term itself.
