soliums (ceremonial chairs, <chairs by function>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Stiff, straight, high-backed chairs with solid arms used in Roman homes and public spaces; also, any chair that has the same form. The seat was placed high, requiring a footstool. In a Roman home, it was kept in the atrium for the use of the master of the house when he received guests or clients. Gods and kings in art may be represented as seated in such a chair.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 材堅直立的高背椅,具結實的扶手,多見於羅馬家庭及公共場合,亦指任何同形的座椅。椅墊位置高,另外需加腳凳。在羅馬家庭裡,一般將座椅置於中庭,供家庭主人招待賓客時使用。有些藝術作品中,上帝或國王的座椅也是這類座椅。 
Dutch ..... Stevige stoelen met een hoge rugleuning en solide armleuningen die in Romeinse huizen en publieke ruimtes werden gebruikt of stoelen met dezelfde vorm. De zitting was verhoogd, waardoor een voetenbank nodig was. Soliums stonden in het atrium en werden gebruikt door de heer des huizes wanneer hij gasten of klanten ontving. Goden en koningen worden in de kunst vaak zittend in dergelijke stoelen afgebeeld. 
German ..... Steifer, gerader, hochlehniger Stuhl mit festen Armlehnen, der in römischen Häusern und öffentlichen Räumen gebraucht wurde; ebenso jeder Stuhl, der die gleiche Form aufweist. Die Sitzfläche war so hoch gelagert, dass ein Fußschemel benötigt wurde. In einem römischen Haus diente er, im Atrium aufgestellt, dem Hausherrn als Sitz zum Empfang von Gästen oder Klienten. In der Kunst können Götter und Könige auf einem solchen Stuhl sitzend dargestellt sein.
