Detailed explanation-1: -The Senate was directed by a presiding magistrate, who was usually either a consul (the highest-ranking magistrate) or, if the consul was unavailable, a Praetor (the second-highest ranking magistrate), usually the urban praetor.
Detailed explanation-2: -Around 300 AD, the Emperor Diocletian enacted a series of constitutional reforms. In one such reform, Diocletian asserted the right of the Emperor to take power without the theoretical consent of the Senate, thus depriving the Senate of its status as the ultimate depository of supreme power.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to tradition, Romulus instituted a Senate composed of 100 members, which was in turn divided into 10 decuries (from the decuria [pl. decuriae], i.e. a group of ten persons, under one commander, called a decurio).
