Best Answer

Our president serves a term of 4 years and can be reelected. The Roman Republic had 2 Consuls that served a term of 1 year, but couldn't be reelected.

The Roman Republic consisted of 600 free-born men (31+) that served for their lifetime. Our senate consists of 100 men and women ages 30+.

Only free-born male citizens could vote in the Republic, but in America, any 18+ citizen can vote.

The Roman and American republics are different in just about every way. The only thing that the two governments have in common is that they are both republics where the people elect their representatives. The senates were different, American senators have to first be elected and then reelected; the Roman senators did not have to be elected and once in, were senators for life. The terms of office were different. American lawmakers serve for four years or life; the Roman officials served for one year. Even the method of voting was different. The Romans voted in the block system where one tribe had one vote no matter how many were in the tribe; the American voting system is a vote for each individual.

The difference is that the united states, anyone that is born in America Soil is considered citizen. While in Rome only adult males were.

What is the difference between Roman public and Roman empire?

There really is no major difference. The Roman Empire was the empire itself, lasting from 27 BCE-476 AD (1453 for the Eastern half, which came to be the Byzantine Empire). In the beginning the Roman empire was an autocracy, headed by emperors. It then later turned into a republic, which is when people use the term Roman Republic or Republic of Rome. This is actually where the modern day type of republic comes from, Rome.
