Curia and tribes
The Curia originated in ancient times, obviously before the traditional founding of the city. Initially, they were an alliance of male warriors. But then the curia turn into closed associations of paternal families, united by internal discipline, common curiate religious cults and the service of men in the curiate people’s militia. At the same time, it should be noted that only members of the original Roman families, in other words, patricians, could be members of the curia. Plebeians were not allowed in the curia. Each curia owned communal land. This land was regularly redistributed between individual clans and surnames of the curia. In the tsarist era, there were 30 curiae, each consisting of ten genera, but the number of them could be different. Members of the curia, adult men, participated in the general meetings of the curia, where they elected the elders of the curia — curios and discussed internal tribal affairs, and in the Popular Assemblies of all the curia of the Roman community — the curiate comitia. The Curios represented the Curia in the Senate and led the religious ceremonies conducted by the curia. At the head of all the curia was the "great curio" (curio maximus). After the reform of Servius Tullius in the middle of the sixth century BC, the tribal foundations of Roman society were severely undermined, and the role of the curia plummeted. They were excluded from solving national issues, and the choice of officials slipped out of their hands. But there remained matters of inheritance, the acceptance of new members into the clan, and religious ancestral cults, which the Romans never encroached on. For the curia, in the minds of the Romans, were endowed with special religious properties. They remained the guardians of centuries-old moral and religious principles, ancient traditions, without which the Romans could not imagine their lives. During the tsarist period, from the time of Romulus, the population of Rome was divided into three tribes. Each consisted, according to legend, of ten curiae and one hundred genera. Therefore, such tribes are called generic in science. According to ancient authors, initially, before the unification of Rome into a single community, each tribe was an independent tribe. Echoes of the existence of separate tribes are heard in the names of three tribal tribes — the Ramnas, Titias and Lutsers. The Raman tribes were classified as Latins, the Titians as Sabines, and the Lutsians as Etruscans by their similarity of sound to the Etruscan word "lukumon".The tribes did not play a serious role in the life of tsarist Rome. After the reform of Servius Tullius, the former tribal tribes were abolished. Instead, the entire territory of the Roman state was divided into districts, which also became known as tribes. But they were no longer members of clans and curia, i.e. patricians, but all residents of the district, including plebeians. Four urban tribes were established in Rome. During the Early Republic, there were seventeen rural tribes, but gradually their number reached thirty-one (with 35 urban tribes).Many tribes bore the names of the localities or rivers where they were located: the tribes of Krustuminskaya, Stellatinskaya, Sabatinskaya or Falernskaya. But often the most powerful patrician family gave the name to the entire rural tribe. These are the tribes of Claudius, Cornelius, Fabius, Horace, and others. In the Roman Republic, the tribes gradually turned into simple administrative divisions, similar to modern provinces or states. Players in Nigeria download the 1win download on mobile.
