[ULPIANUS libro secundo opinionum. ] §50.1.6.prAdsumptio originis, quae non est, ueritatem naturae non peremit: errore enim ueritas originis non amittitur nec mendacio dicentis se esse, unde non sit, deponitur: neque recusando quis patriam, ex qua oriundus est, neque mentiendo de ea, quam non habet, ueritatem mutare potest. §50.1.6.1Filius ciuitatem, ex qua pater eius naturalem originem ducit, non domicilium sequitur. §50.1.6.2Uiris prudentibus placuit duobus locis posse aliquem habere domicilium, si utrubique ita se instruxit, ut non ideo minus apud alteros se collocasse uideatur. §50.1.6.3Libertini originem patronorum uel domicilium sequuntur: item qui ex his nascuntur.
[ULPIAN, Opinions, book 2]\n\nThe assumption of an origin which does not exist does not destroy the truth of nature; for the truth of origin is not lost by error, nor is it laid aside by the lie of one saying that he is from where he is not; nor can anyone change the truth either by rejecting the fatherland from which he originates, or by lying about that which he does not have.\n\nA son follows the citizenship (city) from which his father derives his natural origin, not his domicile.\n\nIt has pleased the learned jurists that someone can have a domicile in two places, if in both places he has so established himself that he appears to have settled himself no less with the one than with the other.\n\nFreedmen follow the origin or domicile of their patrons; likewise those who are born of them.
