Abstract

This paper aims to trace the role played by the Senate throughout the republican era, specifically over how it contributed to the downfall of the Republic. The downfall of the Roman Republic was caused by the majority of the Senate, died-hard Optimates, who drove the political procedures towards crisis, in their purely negative determination not to accept change of any sort, not to permit those they viewed as their enemies any opening for advancement if they could prevent it.
