IIRC although he was a Roman citizen he was actually an Arab. Many citizens in the Empire were not "born" Roman but acquired their citizenship through military service or because they were members of the local ruling elite, it was how the Romans pacified the Empire

King Arthur was also a Roman apparently.

What have the Romans ever done for us?
