Titus Larcius Flavus was the first dictator; circa 510 BCE. If you thought the answer was Gaius Julius Caesar ... he was the last formal dictator appointed to that specific role by the Senate.
My sources say that in 496 BC Aulus Postumius was appointed as the Roman Republic's first dictator. This was done to consolidate power in one man's hands for defeating a group of latin city-states that were waring on Rome. Rome won this war near lake Regillus. We seem to have a small discrepancy here among the "whom" although the year is fairly close. I'll check other sources and I'm sure an agreement shall be made.
Greetings to ancient Roman history people. My source on Aulus Postumis starts with American scholar Will Durant of Columbia University. I was not totally satisfied so I went to more source material. The Roman historian Livy of the late Republic era cites only Aulus as the first dictator. He draws on an early Roman Republic historian Fabius Pictor.
