Romanization or Latinization,in the historical and cultural meanings of both terms,indicate different historical processes,such as acculturation,integration and assimilation of newly incorporated and peripheral populations by the Roman Republic and the later Roman Empire. The term was used in Ancient Rome historiography and Italian historiography until the Fascist period,when the various processes were called the "civilizing of barbarians".

Latin and Greek were the dominant languages of the Roman Empire,but other languages were regionally important. Latin was the original language of the Romans and remained the language of imperial administration,legislation,and the military throughout the classical period. In the West,it became the lingua franca and came to be used for even local administration of the cities including the law courts. After all freeborn male inhabitants of the Empire were universally enfranchised in 212 AD,a great number of Roman citizens would have lacked Latin,though they were expected to acquire at least a token knowledge,and Latin remained a marker of "Romanness".
