Rome Questions 2

Consul- like kings, commanded army and directed government
Veto- consul can always overrule other's decisions
Senate-aristocratic branch of Rome's government
Assembly- democratic side of Roman government
Dictator-leader who had absolute power to make laws and command the army
Mercenary- soldiers who fight in any country's army for pay
