  Colony
     The city of Philippi was a Roman colony (Acts 16:12), i.e., a
     military settlement of Roman soldiers and citizens, planted
     there to keep in subjection a newly-conquered district. A colony
     was Rome in miniature, under Roman municipal law, but governed
     by military officers (praetors and lictors), not by proconsuls.
     It had an independent internal government, the jus Italicum;
     i.e., the privileges of Italian citizens.
