The senate mirrors our own legislative branch of government—the branch that proposes and votes on new laws. At first, the senate was made up only of 300 upper-class men called patricians. A patrician was a member of a wealthy family in the ancient Roman Republic. Ordinary citizens were known as plebeians. In the early republic, plebeians could not hold office or be senators.

  12. Rise and collapse of the republic • At first, only patricians could be in the senate or hold office. This changed in 367 BC. • Two consuls led the government, enforcing the laws and policies. They were elected by the citizens. They ruled for one year only. • Consuls had to agree; they both had veto power. • In an emergency, a dictator could be appointed, holding all the power of a king, but only for six months.

Rise and collapse of the republic • Tensions rose between the patricians and plebeians. • Roman armies invaded more territory. • The Romans destroyed the city of Carthage in 146 BC and took all its land, from Spain to North Africa. • They also conquered Greece. • Rome dissolved into civil war.

  14. Rise and collapse of the republic • Julius Caesar conquered Gaul (modern-day France) in 58-51 BC. This won him loyalty and respect. • In 49 BC, Caesar crossed the Rubicon River into Italy and seized power. He became a dictator for life (instead of just six months). • The senators were angry about Caesar’s power grab, so they assassinated him at a senate meeting. • The civil war continued for another nine years.

  15. Rise and collapse of the republic • At the end of the civil war, Octavian held power. He became the first emperor. • The Roman Republic had ended after 500 years. • It ended because of civil war and the ambition of powerful political figures. • The Roman Empire began.
