In ancient Rome, the place where the comitia assembled; the meeting space for citizens' assemblies.
Latin comitium, literally 'the place of the comitia,' from comitia. It was a specific location in the Roman Forum where various assemblies and voting took place.
The Comitium was a real place in the Roman Forum—an open courtyard where citizens gathered to vote and debate. It's where Roman democracy actually happened, face-to-face and outdoors. If you visit Rome's ruins today, you can still see the spaces where thousands of citizens stood to vote on laws.
