Who made the roman curia?

The term Roman Curiausually refers to the administrative apparatus of the CatholicChurch. The name Curia comes from the institutions of ancient Rome.The Roman curia intended a…s the administrative apparatus of theCatholic Church was the product of evolution, rather than acreation by someone. Right from the early days the Bishop of Rome(the Pope) was assisted by a college of priests to run his diocese.This was expanded into a College of Cardinals which administeredthe Catholic Church as a whole, rather than just the diocese ofRome. The consistories (formal meeting of the Sacred College ofCardinals) became more and more frequent. Innocent III (1198-1216)held consistories three times a week. Specialised committees ofcardinals were also established. They started with temporarymandates and then became permanent bodies and the College ofCardinals became more of a bureaucratic body. The term Curia firstappeared in a papal document in 1089, under Urban II(1088-1099). In ancient Rome there weretwo types of curia. One was an administrative division and anassembly. The other was the senate house. The curiae (plural ofcuria) were administrative divisions created by Romulus, thefounder of Rome and its first king. He divided Rome into threeadministrative divisions, the tribes which were subdivided into 10curiae, giving a total of 30. Each curia provided 100 soldiers tomake up an army of 3,000. To decide on the succession of Romulus,the Assembly of the Curiae (comitia curiata) was created. Itelected new kings. It is often translated into assembly of thepeople. Whilst this translation reflects the fact that the peopleelected the king through this body, assembly of the constituencieswould be more accurate. Each curia was like a constituency. It metto vote separately from the other curiae and the vote of a singlecuria counted as one vote. The final decision was reached through amajority of the votes of all the curiae. It is not clear whetherthis assembly voted on other matters, besides electing theking. The role of the comitiacuriata changed when the fifth king of Rome, Servius Tullius(reigned 578 - 535 BC) created two new assemblies: the Assembly ofthe Soldiers and the Assembly of the Tribes. The latter wascomposed of 35 tribes which were administrative divisions, notethnic ones, which included the areas which Rome had conqueredaround Latium (land of the Latins) and aimed at integrating theirpeoples into the Roman state. The functions of these two newassemblies during the monarchy (753-509 BC) are not known. It isknown that the curiae lost its role of recruiting soldiers, whichwas taken over by the state. It is also known that in the Republic(590-27 BC) other assemblies took over the roles of the ComitiaCuriata and that the latter decayed. The curia as a senatehouse started with the third king, Tullius Hostilius (reigned 673BC - 642 BC) who built the first one. Prior to this the senatorsmet outdoors. This building was named Curia Hostilia. This buildingwas demolished by Lucius Cornelius Sulla in 80 BC to build a largerone because he doubled the number of senators. The new building wasnamed Curia Cornelia. Julius Caesar started the construction of anew senate house because he increased the number of senators by onethird. This work was completed by Augustus in 29 BC. It was namedCuria Julia and it is still standing in the Roman Forum. (MORE)
