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.
A senate is a deliberative assembly, often the upper house or chamber of a legislature or parliament. There have been many such bodies in history, since senate means the assem â¦ bly of the eldest and wiser members of the society and ruling class. Two of the first official senates were the Spartan Gerousia and the Roman Senate.
