The Roman Republic did not have branches of government as we understand them today. The Roman Senate's powers were not very clearly defined, nor was it an elected body. Basically is was a fairly regular meeting of representatives of the most important and noble Roman families who - certainly in their own mind - in a way represented 'the State'. Your family could only be 'elevated' to Senatorial rank, either by being elected as Quaestor (during the Republic) or later, by appointment of The Emperor. Executive power was firstly held by two annually elected consuls (who also proposed new laws and were the State's supreme judges) who were at the same time generals of the army for that year. In all, there were five executive ranks, and after the consuls:
All these office holders (all elected for 1 year, except for the censors who were elected for 18 months) acted largely independently from each other. A check only on the Consuls' activities was instituted in the form of the "Tribunes of the plebs" who could veto decisions and laws made by the Consuls. The office of Tribune had been instituted as a check on what the Patrician clans and families did in office: this was because most of the above offices could only be held by Patricians. A Tribune on the other hand could only be someone from a Plebeian family. Tribunes could also act as 'military Tribunes" and then hold lower command. It was a powerful office, not only because the Consuls' act could be blocked but also because a Tribune could independently propose laws and have them approved in self-convened public meetings 'as long as these affected only the Plebeians'.
Finally, in times of crisis a consul or former consul could be appointed as Dictator, mostly for a period of 6 months. He then could take all the decisions normally taken by any of the other office holders and he could appoint people in an office instead of having them elected.

Republic and Empire.
No, the Roman republic did not have three branches of government. They only had two, hence the motto SPQR---the Senate and the Roman People. The Senate could roughly be defined as the upper branch and the popular assemblies could roughly be defined as the representative branch. The Praetors, who, among other things, corresponded to our judges or judicial branch of government, were a part of the Senatorial branch of government.
The government has three branches because we need CHECK and BALANCE and to avoid abusive powers. The constitution says that those branches are equal, so it means that the judicial can impeach the president as well as the legislative and vice versa, no one is on top and no one is at the bottom.

Roman. Like Rome, we're a tripartite, three part, government. We have three branches, Legislative, Executive, and Judicial, whereas Rome had Senate and the Assembly of Centuries (Legislative), Consuls (Executive), and Praetors (Judicial).
There are not two branches of government, but rather three: the judiciary, executive, and legislative branches. This is to ensure a separation of powers so no one branch has more influence in government than the others.
