Which position in the roman republic had the longest term?

It was the censor. Originally his term of office was for a whole lustrum; that is ,five years. Ten years after the office was instituted, its term was reduced to eighteen months .

Judge Parker: Five years. Don't interrupt me. That's plenty authoritative for me, but the Oxford English Dictionary also gives a simple definition for lustrum as: a period of five years.
