Plural form of 'advena'; multiple foreign-born residents or resident aliens in Roman society.
Latin plural of 'advena,' following standard Latin first-declension plural formation (-a to -ae). Used in classical history to describe groups of non-citizen foreigners.
Ancient Rome's economy and culture were actually built partly by 'advenae'—foreign merchants, slaves, and workers who formed communities while never gaining citizen status, much like immigrant communities today.
