Roman Senate History

Roman senate history dates back to the time of Romulus, who set up the senate during his reign from 753 to 716 B.C. The purpose of the Senate was to be the perpetual council of the republic, and at first consisted only of one hundred, chosen from the Patricians who were called 'patres'. The word senate derives its name from the Latin word senex which means 'old man'.
The Roman population was divided into two classes: the Senate and the People. The People consisted of all Roman citizens who were not members of the Senate. The Roman Senate was originally summoned by a public officer named a viator, who called the Roman Senators from the country. The Senate had considerable authority in Roman politics. They had power over religious matters, finances, new appointments, and many other issues. Thus the Senate had a major role in Roman history.
