Curia

The Curia of ancient Rome was the place where the Senate met to discuss the making of laws and take decisions about the affairs of the Republic.

The Roman Catholic Church retains an assembly called the Roman Curia although its function is very different from the Roman Curia of the 1st Century BC.
