WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -A triumvirate (Latin: triumvirātus) or a triarchy is a political institution ruled or dominated by three individuals, known as triumvirs (Latin: triumviri). The arrangement can be formal or informal. Though the three leaders in a triumvirate are notionally equal, the actual distribution of power may vary.

Detailed explanation-2: -Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus created the First Triumvirate, an unofficial alliance, in 60 BCE for the purpose of cooperatively controlling Rome. The members of the triumvirate sought to expand the power of the populares, or aristocrats, who used popular support to gain power.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tresviri rei publicae constituendae (“triumvirate for organizing the state”) was the title granted in 43 bc for five years (renewed in 37 for another five) to the group generally known as the Second Triumvirate (Mark Antony, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, and Octavian [the future Emperor Augustus]).

Detailed explanation-4: -The Senate was the governing and advisory assembly of the aristocracy in the ancient Roman Republic. It was not an elected body, but one whose members were appointed by the consuls, and later by the censors.
