The '''curule chair''' (Latin: ''sella curulis''), meaning '''“the chair that can be carried in a chariot”''' was a distinctive ivory folding seat used by senior magistrates of the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire. It served as a visible symbol of civil authority, judicial power, and the right to exercise ''imperium''. Although simple in appearance, the curule chair represented one of the most important emblems of Roman governmental dignity.
