Centumviral court
The centumviral court (''centumviri'') was the chancery court (court of equity) of ancient Rome. It was a court of justice dealing with private law (what is referred to in common law systems as civil law).
== Evolution ==
The name ''centumviri'' literally means "100 men"; this was the original number of members from which pool the court was selected. The number of men of which the court consisted is not known. In the Republic, the number increased to 105 and later still, during the Empire, to 180.
During the Empire, four courts were usually chosen from the pool, although the entire membership might sit in unusual cases. The ''Decemviri'' (ten men) presided over the court from the Augustan period. Membership of this council was considered to be a standard position for those embarking on the ''cursus honorum''.
A number of notable orators appeared in this court, including Cicero, Tacitus and Pliny the Younger.
