The Roman assemblies and magistrates were totally different. The popular assemblies gathered to vote on laws, which was done directly by the people. The magistrates were the officers of state, or executive officers. There were five types of such offices and each acted independently within the remit of their office. There was not a centralised executive.

How many houses are in the lawmaking government of rome?
If by houses you mean the senate and the house of representatives, of the house of commons and the house of lords, the Romans did not have equivalents. They did not elect politicians to vote on bills on their behalf. The Roman senate gave advice on law formulation and issued decrees, but it did not vote on bills and was not an elected body. Bills were voted on directly by the people. Initially this was done in the assembly of the soldiers and the assembly of the tribes. Later this was done mainly in the plebeian council. At the beginning of the Republic the consuls (the two heads of state) proposed bills. Later the plebeian tribunes became the main proposers of legislation.
