yes he did, he was for many years, while Pompey and Crassus were alive he shared a joint consul (like joint presidency) with them, but when Crassus died, friction between the two remaining joint consuls (Pompey and Julius) became hostile. A war broke out between Julius Caesar and the Pompey Magnus who, was back be the senate. When Caesar finally defeated Pompey, he declared himself singular Consul of Rome for life and the Senate of Rome ratified it. therefore the direct answer is he made himself dictator and Emperor of Rome, the First Emperor to be exact.
I believe it is Julius Caesar
When Caesar was elected consul, his partner was Marcus Bilbulus, who refused cooperation. At this same time, the agreement called the first triumvirate came to light. So in effect he was ruling with Crassus and Pompey. Afterwards, as dictator he ruled alone.
No one declared themselves dictator in ancient Rome The dictatorship was an extraordinary office of state which was received by appointment by the senate. The meaning of the word dictator was very different in Rome than it is now. It was Julius Caesar who had the senate appoint him has a dictator for life in 44 BC. He was also appointed dictator in 49 BC to oversee his election as consul (head of the state and the army) and resigned from the office after 11 days. He was appointed dictator for one year in 48 BC and dictator for 10 years in 46 BC.
Caesar was never a third consul. The Roman republic always only had two consuls. When Caesar was consul in 59 BC he was one on two consuls. Moreover, Crassus, Pompey and Caesar were allies. The formed the so-called First Triumvirate, a three-men alliance. Caesar became consul through the support of Crassus and Pompey. The two men also supported him when his bill to distribute land to the soldiers of Pompey was opposed by his colleague in the consulship.
