    1.
    Comitia curiata, the most ancient, voting by curiæ, held in the comitium (v. I.), gradually restricted by,
    2.
    The Comitia centuriata, the proper assembly of the populus Romanus, voting by centuries, instituted by Servius Tullius, continuing through the whole time of the republic, commonly held in the Campus Martius (not in the comitium, as is asserted by many from the similarity of the name; cf.
