Rome had three forms of government over the 1,200 years of her history: a monarchy for 244 years, a republic for 482 years and rule by emperors for 506 years. The monarchy was not a democracy. The emperors were absolute rulers. During the period of the Roman republic there was a degree of direct democracy. Today' s democracy is called indirect democracy because the people elect representatives who votes on laws. In the Roman Republic, instead, the people voted on laws themselves (directly). They did so by gathering in popular assemblies to vote. The people also elected the officers of state (the consuls, praetors, censors, curule aediels and quaestors). However, it cannot be said that the Roman Republic was a true democracy. The voting structure of the popular assembly was stacked heavily in favour of the rich. The most powerful political body was the unelected senate which was dominated by the aristocracy and the rich entrepreneurs. Almost all the policy decisions passed through the senate. Therefore, the Roman Republic is usually seen as an oligarchy, rather than a true democracy.
Rome was never a democracy. Rome was a Republic from 510 to 27 BC. That was 483 years.
