Solution

The positions that were at the head of the Roman Republic, specifically in its democratic phase, were the Consuls.

  1. Consuls: The Roman Republic was governed by two consuls who were elected annually by the citizens of Rome. They held executive authority and were responsible for the administration of the government and the military command.

  2. Senators: While senators played a significant role in the governance of Rome, they were not elected positions nor did they serve as heads of state. The Senate was primarily an advisory body composed of Rome’s elite and former magistrates, influencing legislation and governing decisions.

There was no position equivalent to a "President" as known in modern democracies. The Roman political structure was unique and differed significantly from today’s understanding of democratic governance. Consuls were essentially the highest elected officials and represented the executive branch of the Roman government.
