Cincinnatus
A dictator was elected for a 6 month period to handle an emergency in Rome when the political body was in a deadlock because of their collegiality or if the consuls were away. But it must be noted that 'dictator' did not have the same negative connotation in antiquity as it does today.
They were noted from 3300 b.c to 2500 b.c.

Cincinnattus was noted for refusing to extend his term as dictator even though he was given the opportunity to do so. Washington was in a similar position. He was popular enough that he could probably have remained president indefinitely, if he had refused to step down and relinquish his office when his second term expired.
In todays modern notation of Roman numerals: 1452 = MCDLII But the ancient Romans would have noted them quite differently
it depends on the era but at one point it was julius casear and after him it was augustus caesar It depends of the periods. During the monarchy (853-509 BC) it was the king, during the republic (509 BC-27 BC) it was two annualy elected consuls, during the principate (27 BC-285 BC) it was princeps and during the dominate (285-476 AD) it was the dominus.
The most common Roman numeral for 1945 is MCMXLV. However, a variant Roman numeral (MCMVL) is not uncommon. I have noted several examples from publication dates in books from 1945.
The English Language uses the Roman Alphabet. Normally it is not noted when another language is written using the Roman Alphabet. Sometimes it is noted when referring to the Romanian Language. In Romania, the Roman Alphabet is used. In Moldavia, the Cyrillic Alphabet is used for the same language. Since all Western European Languages, except for Greek, use the Roman Alphabet, normally no one mentions it.
Nowadays the equivalent of 14 as a Roman numeral is XIV but the ancient Romans would have noted it quite differently.
Titus Lartius was a Roman general who served in the early days of the Roman Republic. He played a crucial role in defending Rome against invading forces and is particularly noted for his leadership during the siege of the Capitol by the Sabines. He was also a close ally of the legendary Roman figure, Coriolanus.
After Caesar's death Marc Antony was in charge as he was the remaining consul. Now here's where things get messy. Cicero and the senate began to throw their weight around and young Octavian came to Rome. Antony snubbed Octavian, who then co- operated with Cicero against Antony. A war ensued, reconciliation, and the second triumvirate was formed culminating in Octavian winning the battle of Actium and becoming sole ruler. All this took about 13 years before Octavian/Augustus became the sole ruler.
Napoleon Bonaparte . The French do not regard Napoleon as a dictator. He was more properly called Premier or Emperor. He is a great hero in France. Napoleon, it might be noted, was not even French. He was born (1769) in Corsica, shortly before it was incorporated into France (30 Nov 1789). His native language and ancestry were Italian and French historians have noted that he never lost his pronounced Italian accent. Napoleon's short stature was mocked in cartoons in England, France's longtime enemy. Napoleon was an ally of America, but over the years the American view of Napoleon has become similar to the British viewpoint.
