During the period of the Roman Republic, there were two heads of state called consuls. They were elected for a one-year term and each had veto power over the other. However, during periods of crisis they could nominate a dictator who had absolute power for the duration of the crisis.
The Romans could elect a provisional dictator for up to 6 months if the consuls needed one during a time of crisis.
A Dictator and Master of Horse were appointed to temporarily take over government to steer the state through the crisis.
The Senate continued on, except that when this collapsed, a Dictator was appointed for six months to resolve the crisis and he appointed a Master of Horse to assist him.
The temporary postition that the Roman senate would appoint in times of war was the dictator. When the crisis was over, or when the time of his appointed term was over, the dictator was expected to give up his power.

The feature of the Roman republic that was only used during a crisis was the office of Dictator. When the trouble was over he was expected to resign his office. Most did, Some like Julius Caesar did not.
The Roman government changed during emergencies in order to get the crisis solved. Many times the consuls and the senate could not agree on a solution or a reaction to the emergency so they appointed a dictator who had full power to solve the problem.
