And who in that Roman empire was a ROMAN citizen, with the according rights and privileges? answer: only Romans.
"Welcomed"?? you obviously never read any history about the conquest and battles the Roman legions undertook and the nonstop revolutions it tried to subdue.
BTW, the Roman Empire barely existed for 500 years - out off which 300 years were spend, just to gain it. The time 700BC to 50 BC it was the city of Rome with other subdued cities from 500BC onward that fought primarily for dominance in today's Italy against the Etruscan's, Greek, Punic wars, and Gallic tribes.
The creation of the Roman Empire basically starts of with Mr. Caesar at around 50BC and ends in 450AD with the fall and plundering of Rome.
Okay, back to:

So the Roman's didn't attain any terrority they could call Rome for the first 300 years?

Becoming a citizen and welcoming other cultures and people to live, work and trade in Rome are two completely different things. You realize that don't you? It's not that different today. Who is automatically granted citizenship to a country they want to live in today? Many won't allow it and many others do but you must meet strict requirements.
