Greek god Hera became Roman god Juno In 600 BC, Etruscan kings began ruling over Rome. -Romans did not like being ruled by a monarch and overthrew the king, leading to the development of republic. Consuls were officials who ruled Rome in place of a king. They (1)commanded the army and (2)directed the government. In Rome, there were two who ruled together. However, the consuls powers were limited. 1.A consul only served a one year term, and they could not be elected again for ten years. 2.One consul could always overrule, or veto, the other’s decisions. •The Senate was the aristocratic branch of government. • By tradition, there were 300 members chosen from the upper class of Roman society. •Membership was for life. •The Senate heavily influenced domestic policy, (how government treated its own country), and foreign policy, (how government deals with other nations). The Centuriate Assembly •Made up of citizen-soldiers •Appointed consuls and made laws for the Republic •Had less power than the Senate The Tribal Assembly •Elected the Tribunes and made laws for the common people •Rome would appoint a dictator in times of crisis. •He would have absolute power to make laws and command the army. •Power would last about six months •Dictators were chosen by the consuls and elected by the Senate.
