This is an ambiguous question. Body? Roman? Republic? come back and be more specific.
The most powerful body I've ever seen is Julie Newmar, but I don't think that's what you're asking.

∙ 12y agoEither the two consuls if you are talking about during the republic or when Rome had an empire in which it would be the king or emperor.
To add a bit here: As a Republic, the most influence on Roman laws, foreign policy, and Finances, were often heavily influenced by the Roman Senate.
As an Empire, gradually the most power began to build up in the "Emperor" period which some historians say began with Augustus Caesar. A point here needs to be made. Augustus at first played the role of a king in a constitutional monarchy. Later he, and the Emperors that followed were more or less dictators.
In both the Republic of Rome and in the Empire days, the Roman military was also a powerful force to contend along the Senate. A Roman Senate that was extremely against any policy proposed or in force by any other part of the governance, was in danger. The details of the titles and powers of the Roman people and the Senate or "head of the government" is a long detailed story.
The Roman Republic (a small city state in the beginning) began in 510 BC when the Etruscan King, Tarqunius Superbus was expelled. Rome then was independent, and began its expansion as a far reaching world power until the the last emperor was overthrown in 446 AD. The span of time here means that "power' had a fluctuating position. One answer covering 900 years will not suffice.
