Description: The purpose of this article is to explore the meaning of the sella curulis and its role in the public functions of the Roman Republic, the way official acts were sometimes tied to the chair itself and a specific location, while in others not. This chair was the symbol of the Roman magistrate and the official acts performed in a magisterial capacity were to be taken on this chair (e.g. Isid. diff. 1,108; Cic. Verr. 4,40,86; Vir. ill. 72,6). [Author]
