There were three types of gatherings, the "comitia", the "concilium", and the "contio" or "conventio". The first two were formal gatherings where legal decisions were made. The first, the "comitia" (or "comitiatus"), was an assembly of all Roman citizens convened to take a legal action, such as enacting laws, electing magistrates, and trying judicial cases. The second type of legislative meeting was the council (), which was a gathering of a specific group of citizens. For example, the "concilium Plebis", or Plebeian council, was for meetings of plebeians only.
