Until the end of the republic, the senate consisted of aristocrats from the old patrician families. It was very difficult for a man to break the social barrier,even if he had the money and good fortune to be elected to the office of quaestor, which gave him an automatic seat in the senate. But it could be done. Cicero was a prime example of a "New Man" reaching the office of counsul. After the principate was established, the emperor could appoint senators. Augustus, himself raised certain men to senatorial rank, his friend and co-ruler Marcus Agrippa, was just one.
