Roman Republic

Senate of the Roman Republic

318 BC
Roman Republic (Present-Day Rome, Italy)

Originally the chief magistrates, the consuls, appointed all new senators. They also had the power to remove individuals from the Senate. Around the year 318 BC, the "Ovinian Plebiscite" gave this power to another Roman magistrate, the censor, who retained this power until the end of the Roman Republic.
