3D reconstruction of two types of chairs or seats from the Roman period. One of them with a high back and curved feet (cathedra), with a soft cushion that protruded on the sides, based on the chair that appears in the so-called Statue of the Empress Helena, mother of Constantine (Ufizzi Gallery), although it appears to have been adapted from an older one which can be dated to about AD 166. and that it would represent Lucila, a princess of the Antonian period and who would have suffered the damnatio memoriae (Arata, 1993).
The other chair is known as the curule type, whose main characteristics are the absence of a backrest and those curved legs forming an X. The armrests were low and could be folded, facilitating its transport by magistrates and other senior officials.
