Acts 22:26 For this man is a Roman. The name "Roman" acted like magic in each case. The centurion at once pauses, tell his commander to beware; no officer dared to lay a hand in violence on a Roman citizen without trial. The calm was at once allowed, for it was a capital offense to make a false claim of citizenship, and none dared attempt it. Suetonius says: "He who falsely pretended to Roman citizenship was beheaded on the Esquiline hill.' A constant traveler like Paul would be likely to carry papers that would prove his claims.
