To become a senator a man had to apply for admission to the senate and had to meet certain criteria. He had to have the minimum of one million sesterces in his estate. He had to be of good moral character and he could not have been mixed up in any shady financial dealings. Good relationships with prominent families also helped. A quick way to become a senator was to be appointed one by the emperor.
