The Roman monarchy was not hereditary. The kings of Rome were elected. When the king died, there was a period called interregnum (in between reigns) during which the senate took charge of Rome and debated about candidates for the kingship. The candidate then had to be elected by the people gathered in the comitia curiata (the assembly of the wards). It is not known whether the senate chose only one candidate or several candidates to be put to the popular vote. Once elected the king became the head of the city and the army and his office was for life. The king made all the decisions and consulted the senate which was the advisory body of the king.
