		In furniture, one of the venerable forms found in ancient Rome was the sella curulis (seat of honor)--a type of folding stool reserved for political authorities known as the magistrates curulis, and the depiction of these stools on ancient coins is incontrovertible evidence that every citizen would have understood their meaning.
		The evolution of the curule from its beginnings to the early nineteenth century is the subject of an exhibition organized by David L. Barquist and Ethan W. Lasser who also collaborated on the accompanying publication.
		In the United States curule furniture was popular among those at the top of the economic scale According to Barquist and Lasser, while the symbolic associations of the form might have been known to learned Americans, research into the original owners suggests that owning curule furniture was more about social status than political ideology.

		Evidence cited to the contrary is not evidence at all, but actually conjecture founded on the frequently tentative association of curule magistrates' names with specific pieces of legislation (94-96).
