"1 [Latin Rostra, plural, a platform for speakers in the Roman Forum
decorated with the beaks of captured ships, from plural of rostrum] a : an 
ancient Roman platform for public orators b : a stage for public speaking c: 
a raised platform on a stage
2 : the curved end of a ship's prow; especially : the beak of a war galley
3 : a bodily part or process suggesting a bird's bill: as a : the beak,
