Judgment seat, tribunal
Human-made Things in the Bible
The tribunal was a raised platform mounted by steps and usually furnished with a seat. It was used by officials in addressing an assembly, often on judicial matters. One tribunal excavated in Corinth (and possibly the same one mentioned in ) was a small platform supported by stone blocks and with a narrow railing around the top.
