During the period of the Roman Republic the senate was the advisory body of the consuls, the two annually elected heads of the Republic. It debated on policy matters and issued policy recommendation. It also advised on the drafting of bills. In some circumstances it could issue decrees. The Assembly of the Soldiers (which gathered the Roman soldiers) elected the higher officers of state; the consuls, the praetors and the censors. The Assembly of the Tribes (which gathered all Roman citizens) elected the lower officers of state; the aediles and the quaestors. The Assembly of the Soldiers voted on war and peace. The two assemblies also voted on legislation. During the period of rule by emperors the assemblies disappeared and the senate was emasculated.
