The number of senators in Rome was initially a direct
correlation to the number of tribes represented. In the
earliest days of Rome traditionally under Romulus, when
Rome consisted only of one tribe, the Ramnes, the senate
consisted of one hundred members. Further incorporation
of various tribes, such as the Tities and Luceres,
increased accordingly the number of Senators to 300.
Proposals throughout the Republic by various magistrates
such as Gracchus, Livius Drusus, Sulla and Marius
altered the membership from between 300 and 600. At
times, prominent equestrian plebes were added en
masse, or even common soldiers and freedman, as when
Julius Caesar increased the senate roles to 900. With the
accession of Augustus, the permanent foundation for
senate numbers appears to have been fixed at 600, but
this number also fluctuated throughout the empire at the
whims of the emperors.
