Album (Ancient Rome)
PBS: new article
An '''Album''' (Lat. ''albus'', white), in ancient Rome, was a board chalked or painted white, on which decrees, edicts and other public notices were inscribed in black.
==History==
The ''[[Annales Maximi]]'' of the ''[[Pontifex Maximus]]'', the annual edicts of the praetor, the lists of Roman and municipal senators (decuriones) and jurors (album indicum) were exhibited in this manner. The ''[[Acta Diurna]]'', a sort of daily [[government gazette]], containing an officially authorized narrative of noteworthy events in Rome was also published this way.<ref></ref>
==Legacy==
It was from this that in medieval and modern times album came to denote a book of blank pages in which verses, autographs, sketches, photographs and the like are collected. Which in turn lead to the modern meaning of an [[album]] as a collection of audio recordings issued as a single item on CD, record, audio tape or another medium.
Another deviation is also applied to the official list of matriculated students in a university, and to the roll in which a bishop inscribes the names of the diocese's clergy. In law, the word is the equivalent of ''[[mailles blanches]]'', for rent paid in silver ("white") money.
