The Roman Emperor had the official power, which enabled him to control the civil, religious, and military affairs in Rome, the senate only served as the advisory body. The influential and wealthy Roman Emperors unavoidably started being corrupt , and many lived a morally wrong, lifestyle. The Roman Empire witnessed many cases of hostility between the Senators and the Emperors. None of the Senators were in terms with the Emperor (Mark& John 122).
