in the texts
Institutes of Roman Law
Inhabitants of Latium and Latin colonies holding an intermediate legal status between citizens and peregrini.
The Latins possessed commercium and some of them conubium.
Thus, under the lex Aelia Sentia a Latin who marries and begets a son of Latin status by a Latin mother, or a citizen of Rome by a Roman mother, has not power over him;
Similar relief is given to a certain extent if she marry a freedman having the status of a surrendered foe instead of a Roman citizen, or instead of a Latin, whom she intended to marry according to the provision of the lex Aelia Sentia, except that the freedman husband continues of the same status, and therefore the son.
The Rights of War and Peace
Ancient Latin peoples named as the object of Rome's declaration-of-war formulas.
the form of which may be seen in the first book of Livy, where it is said, “I declare war against the ancient nations of the Latins, and likewise against the respective individuals” and the same writer, in his thirty first book, informs us, that, upon the question being put to the people, they were asked, whether it was their pleasure that war should be declared against Philip, and against the Mac …
“Since the ancient people of the Latins have committed aggressions against the people of Rome, the people of Rome, with the advice and consent of the senate, declare war against them, and in the name of the senate and people of Rome their purpose is thus published.

Tusculan Disputations
Ancient Italic people whose forces also failed to restore Tarquin.
When he could not be restored to his kingdom by the arms of the Veientes nor of the Latins, he is said to have betaken himself to Cumae, and in that city to have been worn out by age and distress.
Adversus Praxean
Latin speakers noted for readily using the word monarchy.
And they articulate the very sound of it aloud, even the Latins, and so glibly that you would think they understood the monarchy as well as they pronounce it.
De Testimonio Animae
The Latin-speaking peoples, named as one linguistic group among whom the soul's testimony is not uniquely confined.
Not for the Latins, nor for the Argives alone, does the soul fall from heaven.
