individius

Individius is a Latin word that translates to "individual" or "particular person." The term is often used in legal and philosophical contexts to refer to a single person or entity, distinct from a group or collective. In Roman law, individius was a legal status that could be applied to a person who was not a citizen of Rome but was granted certain rights and protections. This status was often granted to foreigners or slaves who had performed significant services for the state. The concept of individius highlights the importance of individual recognition and the rights associated with it, even in the absence of full citizenship. The term is also used in philosophical discussions to emphasize the uniqueness and value of each individual, distinct from broader societal or collective norms.
