A Senate is a governing body of a legislature.
==Roman Senate==
The first senate was that of the [[Roman Republic]]. The senate was the dominant force in the politics of the Roman Republic. The Roman Senate consisted of 300 senators who met in the [[Curia]] or Senate house.
The senate of the [[Roman Empire]] was similar to the senate of the Roman Republic. The senate continued to meet in the Curia, but the number of senators was increased to over a thousand by [[Julius Caesar]]. During this time the senate was essentially a figurehead subject to the orders of the emperor.
