No. At first it had kings (there were seven of them) for 144 years. Then it had a republic for 482 years which was headed by two annually elected consuls. After that it had Emperors for 503 years. Augustus being the first. Also the Senators had a lot of power during the republic. Under the rule by emperors they become instruments for the emperor's exercise of power.
