consul held the highest elected political office of the Roman Republic (509 to 27 BC), and ancient Romans considered the consulship the highest level of the cursus honorum (an ascending sequence of public offices to which politicians aspired)

Answer:

The emperor could declare war or agree upon treaties with other nations. Only the Senate had the right to do this in the Republic.
