	Curia - LoveToKnow 1911
		Hence the ancient senate house at Rome was known as the Curia Hostilia.
		The curia was also adopted as a state division in a large number of municipal towns; and the term was often applied to the senate in municipal towns (see Decurio), probably from the name of the old senate house at Rome.
		Sometimes curia means jurisdiction, or the territory over which jurisdiction is exercised; whence possibly its use, instead of cortis, for an enclosed space, the court-yard of a house, or for the house itself (cf.

		Technically speaking, the Curia is the house where the senators met and the Senate House was the Curia Hostilia (named for the king, Tullus Hostilius, who built it prior to the founding of the Republic).
		Whether the curiae became lictors or the lictors replaced the curiae, it was the lictors (by 218 BC) who met in the comitia curtiata to grant imperium to the newly elected cousuls and praetors and dictators of the Republic.

		The term curia was also applied to certain houses intended for holding meetings, as, for instance, the official residence of the Salii on the Palatine, and especially the senate-house, Curia Hostilia, built by king Hostilius on the comitium, and burnt down 52 BC.

		The division into curiae was of great political importance in the earliest times of Rome, for the curiae alone contained those that were real citizens, and their assembly alone was the legitimate representative of the whole people [comitia curiata], from whom all other powers emanated.
		For such religious purposes each curia had its own place of worship, called curia, which at first may have contained nothing but an altar, afterwards a sacellum, and finally a building in which the curiales assembled for the purpose of discussing political, financial, religious and other matters.
		Curia is also used to designate the place in which the senate held its meetings, such as curia Hostilia, curia Julia, curia Marcelli, curia Pompeii, curia Octaviae, and from this there gradually arose the custom of calling the senate itself in the Italian towns curia, but never the senate of Rome.

		The curia per antonomasia was the Curia Hostilia in Rome, which was the building where the Senate usually met.
		The Senate, initially just a meeting of the city elders from all tribes (its name comes from "senex", which means "old man"), saw its powers grow together with the conquest that brought a town of humble origins to rule a large Republic (and then decrease steadily with the advent of the Empire).
		So the Curia passed in religious hands, and afterwards changed functions many times but always keeping its traditional name, at least in those Christian denominations that still keep a strong continuity with the Apostolic tradition.

		It was the curia that gave a place the status of a town, and we may conclude that the presence of capitolium, basilica and curia with comitium around a central open space (which evolved into the forum) were the constituent buildings to indicate the difference between town and country.
		The word curia is derived from the three old tribes of Rome, the Tities, Ramnes and Luceres which were called curiae.
		In the first days of its evolution the curia was seen as a templum, a sacred space in which not only the state assemblies were held but which housed religious meetings as well.
