curule chairs (folding stools, <stools by design>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Folding stools having curved legs forming a wide X, no back, and low arms. They were originally easily transportable chairs for magisterial commanders in the field; over time, the seat developed a hieratic significance; Ancient Roman folding curule stools were used by senators and magistrates. Although often of luxurious construction, the Roman curule was meant to be uncomfortable, symbolizing that the official should carry out his duties in an efficient and timely manner.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 具有形成張大之X形的彎曲椅腳、無椅背,扶手低的摺疊凳。原本是供地方行政官在戶外就座,便於運送的椅子;隨著時間發展,該椅逐漸產生神職意義;古羅馬的摺疊高官凳由元老院議員及地方行政官使用。該羅馬高官席雖常構造豪華,但本應不舒適,象徵官員應以有效率且及時的態度盡其職責。 
Dutch ..... Oud-Romeinse opklapbare krukken die door senatoren en magistraten werden gebruikt. 
Spanish ..... Taburetes plegables de la Antigua Roma usados por senadores y magistrados.
