Ancient Roman military assembly, instituted с 450 BC.
It decided on war and peace, passed laws, elected consul s, praetor s, and censor s, and considered appeals of capital convictions. Unlike the older patrician Comitia Curiata, it included plebeian s as well as patrician s, assigned to classes and centuriae (centuries, or groups of 100) by wealth and the equipment they could provide for military duty. Voting started with the wealthier centuries, whose votes outweighed those of the poorer.
