What are the similarities between the structure of the Roman republic and the Athenian polis under pericles? What are the differences?

At the time of Pericles, Rome and Athens had similarities:

in the elective nature of important positions of the state with a certain term of their office; in endowing popular assemblies with supreme power; in the preservation of slavery with social inequality between slaves and free citizens, as well as between men and women.
