Abstract
The Senate was a central element in the political organization of Republican Rome, despite a considerable degree of imprecision over its exact functions and powers. As subsequent periods attempted to understand and use the Roman Republic, its Senate proved both a resource and an obstacle to that process, and its continuing importance in the reception history of Rome is to be understood in relation to the difficulty of reaching firm conclusions about what it could and could not do.
