		Senators and equestrians whom the emperor appointed as governors, generals, and prefects held substantial power in the provinces, although provincial administration was initially restricted to issues of taxation and law and order.
		The Romans never had a written constitution, but their form of their government, especially from the time of the passage of the lex Hortensia (287 B.C.), roughly parallels the modern American division of executive, legislative, and judicial branches, although the senate doesn't neatly fit any of these categories.
		The Roman Senate survived even after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West when Rome had sunk to the status of a medium sized Italian city.

	Roman Senate House - History for Kids!
		When Julius Caesar's Senate building was destroyed by a fire in the late 200's AD, the emperor Diocletian had a new Senate house built in the latest architectural style.
		The Senate house Diocletian had built is all made of brick, although when it was new it would have had a coating of marble and stucco all over it.
		The Senate house is still in pretty good shape today, with a roof on it, because, like the Pantheon, the emperor Phocas gave it to the Popes to turn into a Christian church in the early 600's AD and the Popes took good care of it.

		The Senate existed throughout all the periods of ancient Rome: Kingdom-Republic-Empire, although the power it wielded clearly shifted and at times was purely nominal rather than actual.
		The Senate house was divided into two halves with the seats on one side or the other reserved for those for or against the particular issue being discussed.

		From this point on, the corruption of the Senate was obvious and the respect of the Senate by the citizens severely declined.
