Explanation:

The Senate of ancient Rome was a major political sphere of Roman government. Its members were wealthy and influential men from powerful families. Their role included advising the King, making decrees, having debates about state affairs and they had significant control over finances of the state.

Poor Roman citizens or ordinary men were not allowed to join the Senate because they were an elite group and its members were usually rich and had great influence. The members of the Senate were appointed rather than elected.

During the reign of Emperor Augustus, senators were expected to own at least 1 million sesterces in wealth, men without this type of money were not considered for Senate.

A Senator was expected to be wealthy because no member of Senate was paid and was expected to serve the Roman Empire with their wealth and wisdom.

Members of the Senate were about 300-500 strong.
