What does CURULE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
historical
Relating to the high rank and ceremonial chair of the chief magistrates of ancient Rome, such as consuls and praetors.
A curule chair, the sella curulis, was a low folding stool with curved legs and no back, carried into place wherever a senior Roman magistrate held office, court, or command. Only officials with curule rank, chiefly consuls, praetors, and curule aediles, had the right to sit in it, so the adjective became shorthand for that whole level of authority and its trappings. Historians still use curule when describing the offices, processions, and privileges tied to this rank in the Roman Republic.
