Senate of the Roman Republic [SEP] Introduction
The Senate was the governing and advisory assembly of the aristocracy in the ancient Roman Republic. It was not an elected body, but one whose members were appointed by the consuls, and later by the censors. After a Roman magistrate served his term in office, it usually was followed with automatic appointment to the Senate. According to the Greek historian Polybius, our principal source on the Constitution of the Roman Republic, the Roman Senate was the predominant branch of government. Polybius noted that it was the "consuls" (the highest-ranking of the regular magistrates) who led the armies and the civil government in Rome, and it was the "Roman assemblies" which had the ultimate authority over elections, legislation, and criminal trials.
