Civitas is an abstract formed from civis. Nicolet traces the first word and concept for the citizen at Rome to the first known instance resulting from the synoecism of Romans and Sabines presented in the legends of the Roman Kingdom.
It was renamed Citta ( Civitas ) Vittoriosa after withstanding the Great Siege of 1565 (also known as the first Siege), during which Birgu was the seat of government in Malta. Despite this name change to 'Vittoriosa' well over four centuries ago, most Maltese people still refer to it as ' il-Birgu '.
