From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Senate of the Roman Republic was a political institution 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.
1) Commander-in-chief of the Roman armies if there's a war going on. 2) Chief law-maker and new-law-implementer. Laws were made by the consuls and the tribunes of the plebs. The senate also passed what's called the senatorial decrees and these were often treated like laws (they weren't). 3) Head of all other magistrates and could veto everyone's decisions, with the exception of tribunes of the plebs and censors.
