Citizens of Rome and Greece would gather to elect their own officials. The chief officials were called consuls and there were two of them. The consuls governed for a year. If they did not live up to expectations, they could be voted out of office at the next election. Also, there were other elected officials such as judges, magistrates and tax collectors. There were also Ten “Tribunes of the People” that were also elected to look after the poor of Rome.The consuls were advised by a Senate. That was made up of powerful citizens.The Romans were always at war and sometimes helped the Greeks fight. Both mad many merchants and traded alot.
