The 300 members of the Senate, or the Roman Senate, were a political institution in ancient Rome composed of patricians and wealthy plebeians. They served for life and were appointed by magistrates, primarily from the ranks of former consuls and other high-ranking officials. The Senate played a crucial role in governance, advising magistrates, controlling public finances, and influencing legislation. Over time, its composition and power evolved, especially during the transition from the Roman Republic to the Empire.
