Ancient history

What is a sentate in roman republic?

In the Roman Republic, the Senate (Latin: Senatus, lit. 'council of elders') was a political institution comprising a body of appointed advisors to the magistrates, primarily the consuls, and a deliberative body that could be consulted before a magistrate took action. Senators were appointed for life by the censors, and the Senate had the power to advise magistrates, pass decrees, and ratify treaties.
