OKAPI FORUM
pl.
of Forum
n.
A market place or public place in Rome, where causes were judicially tried, and orations delivered to the people.
pl.
of Forum
n.
A tribunal; a court; an assembly empowered to hear and decide causes.
n.
A Latin deity represented with two faces looking in opposite directions. Numa is said to have dedicated to Janus the covered passage at Rome, near the Forum, which is usually called the Temple of Janus. This passage was open in war and closed in peace.
n.
Hence, a court or forum; as, the House of Lords, in England, is the highest tribunal in the kingdom.
n.
Law; as, lex talionis, the law of retaliation; lex terrae, the law of the land; lex fori, the law of the forum or court; lex loci, the law of the place; lex mercatoria, the law or custom of merchants.
n.
The Beaks; the stage or platform in the forum where orations, pleadings, funeral harangues, etc., were delivered; -- so called because after the Latin war, it was adorned with the beaks of captured vessels; later, applied also to other platforms erected in Rome for the use of public orators.
