A member of one of the ancient Roman tribes or voting divisions, or one who belongs to a curia.
From Latin 'curia' (division, assembly) with the suffix '-ate' indicating membership or status. Used in ancient Roman political contexts and occasionally in historical writing.
Roman curiates essentially were the original swing voters—the battles over curiae voting power literally shaped the government system that influenced modern democracy.
