During the Roman Republic, the most honored senators were the magistracies
The Roman Republic was a period in the history of Rome that spans from 509 BC. until 27 a. C. (year of the beginning of the Roman Empire)
One of the highlights of the Roman Republic was that the place of the king was occupied by two honorary senators called magistrates who were called first praetors and later consuls.
This measure was taken to avoid the abuses of power that the kings generally did. In addition, other conditions were imposed such as:
- Period of the government of the magistrates for one year
- The penalties or punishments they imposed could be appealed to the assemblies of the people (provocatio ad populum)
- Once their mandate ended, they were responsible for acts contrary to the law that they could have committed in office.
Later, during the empire this position was honorary, and candidates for them needed the approval of the emperor.
