The early Roman government consisted of the Senate, Consuls, and, as needed, a Dictator.

In the early Roman government, the positions that made up the government were:

Senate: A council of elders who advised the consuls.
Consuls: Two elected executives who oversaw the laws and ensured their enforcement.
Dictator: A position added as needed in extraordinary circumstances for a specific task, such as leading the army in a crisis.

Originally, these positions were exclusively held by patrician families, but later opened to plebians, including small farmers and merchants.
