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.
