Simple Definition
Term: COLLEGA
Definition: A collega is someone who shares authority with another person, like a colleague or associate. In ancient Rome, collega referred to a member of a group called a collegium, which was made up of at least three people who had the right to make rules about membership, organization, and the rights and duties of members. These groups were formed for different reasons, like for work, culture, charity, or religion. Sometimes, a collegium was not allowed by law or had a different purpose than what was written in its rules. When a collegium was allowed by law and had a useful purpose, it was called a collegium licitum.
