Roman Government. Ancient Rome experienced three different types of government: Monarchy; Republic; Empire; While the myth of Romeâs origins involve Romulus killing his twin brother Remus to rule Rome and name it after himself, we know that the area was ruled by the Etruscans in the seventh century B.C. This means that Rome was under the power of a monarchy in its earliest period, which is a system of government that has one ruler. Evidence points to seven different kings ruling Rome at this time. However, sometime around 509 B.C., the citizens of Rome gained control from the Etruscans and established the Roman Republic.
Before the Republic, the king had been advised by a Senate. Once the monarchy was gone, the Senate took on more power and ruled Rome alongside the two consuls. On the surface, the consuls seemed to hold more power than senators, but they held office for only a year while the senators served for life. Dictatorship . The founders of the Roman Republic, like the American founding fathers, placed checks and balances on the power of their leaders.
