The Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies - The Roman Society - was founded in 1910 as the sister society to the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies. The Roman Society is the leading organisation in the United Kingdom for those interested in the study of Rome and the Roman Empire. Its scope is wide, covering Roman history, archaeology, literature and art down to about A.D. 700. It has a broadly based membership, drawn from over forty countries and from all ages and walks of life.
Because political power in Rome was concentrated in the hands of wealthy aristocrats, the Roman Republic is best described as an elected oligarchy. The government of the Roman Republic comprised three elements: a system of magistrates, a Senate, and a number of popular assemblies. The executive office was held by two annually elected consuls who served as chief magistrates and held imperium (absolute power).
