centumviri
| In ancient Rome, a panel from which juries were chosen to form a civil court. The panel numbered 105 under the republic and 180 under the empire. |
| Sometimes the court sat as a whole body, but usually it sat in sections. Its jurisdiction was purely in civil law, and covered matters of property and inheritance. |
