There were three main branches of the Roman government. These branches are what a lot of present-day governments are based on.
The executive branch consisted of two heads of state or consuls who were elected each year. The consuls sugested laws, maintained the army and were able to veto the actions of others.
The legislative branch or senate held most of the power in the government. This group began as advisors but later became responsible for making laws and policy decisions. Only patricians could be members of the senate, and they served for life.
The magistrates, or government officials, condusted other government business. They were responsible for the judiciary, the marketplace, finances, and the census. They held office for one year.
Roman government- The Roman government was a mix of a democracy and a republic. An interesting fact is that the people of Rome took many of their ideas of government from the Ancient Greeks and they were always fighting each other to get power and they just fought
After looking into this business of Rome having a tripartite government from several sources, I can't find one shred of evidence confirming that the ancient Romans had a tripartite government. They did not have three branches as say, the United States has, so there was no way that they could be a tripartite government. The Roman government was bipartite, that is having two parts, the senate and the Roman people. The Roman people, or the voting assemblies could loosely be considered the legislative branch, and at times even the senate. However the senate was mainly a debating and consulting and advising body. What would be comparable to present day judicial and executive branches, were incorporated in the senate in the Roman Republic. Based on these facts, the ancient Romans never had a tripartite government. Even during the time of the emperors, when the emperor assumed the responsibilities of the consuls, there was no separate judicial branch of government.
The Romans did not have a centralised form of government, a cabinet/ administration. They had five types of officers state who operated independently within the remits of their officers. All of them were elected and had a term of office which lasted one year, apart from the censor whose term was 18 months. The heads of the state were two annually elected consuls who were also military commanders. There was not a separate judiciary and the chief of justice were the praetors, one of the types of officer of state. The praetors could also command an army. The censors were in charge of the census, public works and their financing, public morality and the enrolment of senators based on eligibility criteria (wealth, status, education and moral probity). The quaestors were the treasurers. The aediles were in charge of the maintenance of public buildings and roads, and running markets, the port and festivals.
The senate was not an elected body and was not a legislative body. Laws were initially proposed by the consuls and later mostly by the plebeian tribunes, the representative of the plebeian. The senate issued advice, ruling of the technicalities of laws and decrees.
Laws were voted by the people in popular assemblies: the assembly of the soldiers (which also acted as a court of appeal for capital punishment sentences), the assembly of the tribes (which also acted as a court of appeal for other cases) and the plebeian council. Later the plebeian council became the main voting body for law. its resolution were called plebiscites

The Roman republic consisted of the senate and the Roman people. SPQR.
Yes. Type "Roman Empire" on Google and you'll see. In fact Europe was part of the Roman Empire since about half of it was in "Europe" as now defined, but the non-European parts - Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, N Africa - had more than half the population, and the Eastern Empire (largely outside Europe) became the more important part over time.
The Roman Empire covered what is not Italy, France, Spain, England, parts of Germany, Africa, and the Middle East.
The Roman Empire never ruled the world.AT their largest point they controlled most of Europe, and parts of Africa and Asia.
Senate Consuls Assembly
The Roman government is erroneously called a tripartite because someone is/was determined to read something into Roman government that was never there, such as a government made up of three components or branches like the government of the United States. The Roman government was a bipartite -- it consisted of two parts, not three. The two parts of the Roman government were the Senate and the Roman people. (SPQR) All the Roman magistrates were members of the senate and they were elected to their offices by the Roman people in the various assemblies. There was no separate justice department. The dispensing of justice fell under the authority of the praetors who were members of the senate.
The term "tripartite" means something that contains three parts.
What this means is that each state will always have a government elected by the people and not a monarchy.

Checks and balances kept individual parts of the government from taking over.
Tripartite personality refers to the idea that the human psyche consists of three parts: the id (instinctual drives), ego (rationality and reality-based decision-making), and superego (moral standards and conscience). This concept, proposed by Sigmund Freud, suggests that these three components interact and influence our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.
