Money. A leader in ancient Rome needed financial resources to make himself visible to the public. This was done by public works and public entertainments. Also, depending on the times, he could use a great military victory. This instantly gave him public recognition and the money for political campaigns. He also had to be thick skinned because in ancient Rome, the political speeches were what we would today call mudslinging.
