There were two annually elected consuls after the deposition of the kings. The first two consuls were Lucius Junius Brutus and Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus. Collatinus was the husband of Lucretia, the woman whose rape triggered the revolt and the overthrow of the monarchy. He had to resign because of complaints about his being part of the royal family. His place was taken by Publius Valerius Publicola.

yes there were always two roman consuls. they were the most senior part and the most top of the roman government.
In the years of the Roman Republic, the consuls were the two annually elected heads of the Republic and the army. Initially they also had judicial duties, but these were transferred to the praetors (chief Justices) when this post was created after 187 years and from then on the consuls only had executive powers. They proposed bills to the vote of the Assembly of the Soldiers or the Assembly of the Tribes. However, in the Late Republic the plebeian tribunes became the main proposers of bills and they submitted them to the vote of the Plebeian Council, which became the main legislative body. In the period of rule by emperors, the emperor took over the Consuls' powers and the consuls' job became largely ceremonial.
The patrician elders who advised the consuls in the Early republic were the senators. Later, rich plebeians were also allowed to become senators.
In Rome, in addition to leading the government, the consuls also led the army.

In a few words, they oversaw the government during their time in office. The consuls not only ran/conducted/convened the senate, they proposed laws for discussion, led armies and were generally responsible for the government.
A republic! They had a senate and two consuls.
