During the Roman Republic the dictator was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed by the consuls (the heads of the Republic and the army) and was given a very specific mandate by a senatorial decree at times of emergency. His term of office was six months. His mandate was usually to lead the army when there was need to have a sole commander (usually the army was led by the two consuls) or to have man with better military leadership skills. Several times a dictator was appointed to preside over an election and one dictator was appointed to put down a rebellion.
During the 482 years of the republic a dictator was appointed 88 times. I total 75 men were appointed dictators. Apart from two men, all dictators resigned either before the six months were up, when their job was done, or within the six months. The only two exceptions were Lucius Cornelius Sulla who was appointed for one year in 81 BC to reform the Roman constitution and Julius Caesar. Caesar used the power he gained when he won his civil war to have himself appointed dictator four times. The first time he was dictator in order to preside over his own election as consul and resigned after 17 days (49 BC). The second time he was appointed dictator for one year (48 B) the third for ten years (46 BC) and the fourth for life (44 BC).
The first Roman dictator was Titus Lartius Flavus who was appointed in 501 BC.
