The term dictator had a different meaning to the Romans. During the Republic the dictator was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed by senatorial decree in times of emergency. The decree established the mandate of the dictator and his term of office was six months. Caesar had himself appointed dictator to preside over his election as consul and resigned from the office after 11 days. He then was appointed dictator for one year, then for 10 years and then for life. This was an extraordinary bending of the traditional practice. However, it is necessary to remember that the term dictator was completely different. Caesar did not act fully 'dictatorially.' He was known for his leniency and magnanimity and was extremely popular among the middle and lower classes of Rome, which was the real base of his power.
Augustus' rule cannot be described as a Dictatorship. He made himself an absolute ruler, a bit like the absolute monarch of later European history. He did not rule dictatorially. He was a benign ruler.
