Chancellor's Podium
this was the central spire that was located within the Senate Rotunda, during the last decades of the Old Republic. While the Rotunda's outer rim was covered with the Senatorial pods, the Chancellor's Podium emerged from underneath the Rotunda and rose into the very center of the Rotunda. From this position, every Senator could see the Chancellor's personage in the podium, and the Chancellor could address any discussion from the Senators. Attached to the front of the Podium was the Great Seal of the Old Republic.
