How do you describe democracy in ancient rome?

Ancient Rome did not have a democracy, they had a republic. it was lead by a) the Senate: a group of male patricians who climbed the cursus honourum and made every financial and political decision for Rome. b) two consuls who changed every year: the consuls were required to climb the cursus honourum. The Senate chose the consul's and the plebeians would vote in groups (one vote per group) yes or no. If the result was not what the Senate wanted, they had the power to veto it. The plebeians were given very minimal rights (such as voting 'yes' or 'no') to keep them happy and stop them from uprising. Over the years the Plebeians fought for the right to their own government group called the Concilium Plebis. Over time it gained equal power to the Senate (*note: power not authority) This is a simplified version for Roman government :)
