It is significant that optimistic medieval and resulting imaginative portrayals of the gathering in session are practically consistently off base. Representations normally demonstrate the legislators organized in a half circle around an open space where speakers were esteemed to remained; truly the structure of the current Curia Julia building, which dates in its present structure from the Emperor Diocletian, demonstrates that the congresspersons sat in straight and parallel lines on either side of the inner part of the building. In present media delineations in film this is demonstrated effectively in The Fall of the Roman Empire, and mistakenly in, for instance, Spartacus.
At the point when the Republic started, the Senate worked as a warning gathering. It comprised of 300 Senators, who were at first patrician and served forever. After a short time, plebs were likewise conceded, despite the fact that they were denied the senior magistracies for a more drawn out period.[15]
Representatives were qualified for wear a tunic with an expansive purple stripe, maroon shoes, and an iron (later gold) ring.[15]
The Senate of the Roman Republic passed announcements called senatus consulta, which in structure constituted "exhortation" from the senate to an officer. While these pronouncements did not hold legitimate energy, they typically were obeyed in practice.[16]
In the event that a senatus consultum clashed with a law (lex) that was passed by a get together, the law overrode the senatus consultum on the grounds that the senatus consultum had its power situated in point of reference and not in law. A senatus consultum, notwithstanding, could serve to translate a law.[17]
Through these advices, the senate guided the justices, particularly the Roman diplomats (the boss officers) in their indictment of military clashes.

This was particularly the case with respect to its administration of state funds, as no one but it could approve the disbursal of open stores from the treasury. As the Roman Republic developed, the senate additionally administered the organization of the territories, which were represented by previous representatives and praetors, in that it chose which justice ought to legislate which region.
Since the third century the senate additionally assumed an essential part in instances of crisis. It could call for the errand of a despot (a right resting with every delegate with or without the senate's contribution). On the other hand, after 202, the workplace of despot dropped out of utilization (and was resuscitated just two more times) and was supplanted with the senatus consultum ultimum ("extreme announcement of the senate"), a senatorial declaration which approved the delegates to utilize any methods important to settle the crisis.[18]
While senate gatherings could happen either inside or outside of the formal limit of the city (the pomerium), no gathering could occur more than a mile outside of it.[19] The senate worked while under different religious confinements. Case in point, before any gathering could start, a present to the divine beings was made, and a quest for heavenly signs (the protection) was taken.[20]
Gatherings typically started at day break, and a judge who longed to summon the senate needed to issue a necessary order.[21] The senate gatherings were public,[19] and were regulated by a managing officer, normally a consul.[6] While in session, the senate had the ability to follow up on its own, and even against the will of the directing justice on the off chance that it longed. The managing judge started each one gathering with a speech,[22] and afterward alluded an issue to the representatives, who would examine the issue by request of seniority.[19]
Legislators had a few different routes in which they could impact (or baffle) a directing justice. For instance, all legislators needed to talk before a vote could be held, and since all gatherings needed to end by nightfall,[16] a representative could talk a proposal to death (a delay or diem consumere) in the event that he could keep the level headed discussion going until nightfall.[22] When it was time to call a vote, the managing officer could raise whatever recommendations he longed, and each vote was between a proposal and its negative.[23]
Sometime or another before a movement passed, the proposed movement could be vetoed, as a rule by a tribune. In the event that there was no veto, and the matter was of minor imperativeness, it could be voted on by a voice vote or by a show of hands. In the event that there was no veto, and the matter was of a huge nature, there was generally a physical division of the house,[19] with legislators voting by having a spot on either side of the chamber.
Senate enrollment was controlled by the Censors. When of Gaius Marius, responsibility for worth no less than one million sesterces was needed for membership.[15] The moral necessities of representatives were critical. Legislators couldn't participate in saving money or any type of open contract. They couldn't claim a ship that was substantial enough to take an interest in remote commerce,[19] they couldn't leave Italy without authorization from the senate and were not paid a pay. Decision to authoritative office brought about programmed senate membership.[24]
