[Avodah] bet din but not a rav

[Joel Rich]

In my Sunday Rambam chabura, we’re up to hilchot Sanhedrin. I’ve been
suggesting trying to deconstruct the halachot to understand the underlying
theories (of HKBH and chazal-eg predilection to not convict the innocent
and why). When the Rambam (Hilchot Sanhedrin 1:10) lists the role of the
120 people required in a town to have a Sanhedrin, I noted there is a bet
din but not a rav. It appeared to me that historically(certainly Talmudic
times) the leadership focus was on the be din and sometime/somewhere it
reversed. If so, any idea when and (to me more importantly) why?
