Concilium: A Latin word that means "council". It can refer to a court session where arguments are heard in a case or a request for a day to present an argument. It can also refer to a gathering of the common people in ancient Rome called "Concilium Plebis".
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Concilium (pronounced kuhn-sil-ee-uhm) is a Latin word that means "council." It has two main meanings:
- Historical: Refers to a court session where arguments are presented in a case. It can also refer to a motion requesting a day to present an argument.
- Concilium Plebis: A type of council in ancient Rome made up of plebeians (common people) that had the power to pass laws.
Examples:
- During the trial, the lawyers presented their arguments to the concilium.
- The defendant's lawyer requested a concilium to be scheduled for the following week.
- In ancient Rome, the Concilium Plebis was an important institution that allowed common people to have a say in the laws that affected them.
The first two examples illustrate the historical meaning of concilium, where it refers to a court session or a motion to present an argument. The third example illustrates the Concilium Plebis, which was a specific type of council in ancient Rome that had legislative power.
