It is false that the republic was also known as a socialist government.

The Roman Republic was not a socialist government.

The Roman Republic started in 509 BC. It was a system of government that included three branches that included a system of checks and balances to maintain the balance of power in Rome. The first branch was the Consuls; two, that served one year term.  A Senate or council of elders. And the third branch was the Assembly.
