Understanding Parlia: The Ancient Roman Origins of Formal Debate
Parlia is a term that was used in ancient Rome to refer to the public speeches or debates held in the Roman Senate. The word "parlia" comes from the Latin word "parabolē", which means "a placing beside", and it referred to the practice of senators delivering speeches in a formal setting, where they would be placed alongside one another to speak.
In modern times, the term "parlia" has been used to refer to any formal debate or discussion that takes place in a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. It can also be used more broadly to refer to any formal exchange of ideas or arguments between individuals or groups, whether in a political or non-political context.
