The term 'Speakers' Stands' refers to the various platforms used by speakers to address an audience. The most common of these are rostra (6 letters), which is a raised platform used in Ancient Rome, PODIA (5 letters), which is a raised platform with steps on either side, DAISES (6 letters), which is a raised platform with a canopy, and LECTERNS (8 letters), which is a stand with a slanted top used to hold books or notes. All of these stands provide a place for a speaker to stand and be seen and heard by their audience.
