Detailed explanation-1: -Beginning in 447 bc, two quaestors were elected as financial officials of the consuls, and the number increased to four in 421 bc. Beginning in 443 bc, two censors were elected about every five years and held office for 18 months.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The composition of the Roman Senate varied greatly throughout the centuries. Originally, only male members over 60 years of age who had retired from the Army were admitted to membership. Over time, and based on the dignity of the office held by senate candidates, that minimum age decreased.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rather than restoring their king, the Romans replaced the kingship with two annually elected magistrates called consuls.
