Julius Caesar was a dictator, claiming the title, "Dictator Perpetuus," which means "dictator for life."
Nowhere. Caesar's title was dictator, not king. He was never crowned.
Julius Caesar was given the title Dictator for Life in 44 BC.
No, he refused the title of 'Dictator' multiple times and instead created a new title called 'Princeps Civitas' which meant first citizen. The reason he refused the title of Perpetual Dictator was because this was one of the reasons Julius Caesar was killed.
Julius Caesar did not make himself dictator for life. The Senate, at that time, in Rome, made Julius Caesar dictator for life.
For two reasons. Towards the end of his life Caesar became arrogant and impatient with the system of doing things in Rome. He probably thought that as dictator with unlimited powers, he could push through his acts and reforms quickly. He also wanted it because it was the closest thing to a king that Rome was allowed to have.
Julius Caesar was granted the title and powers of Dictator for life.
His biggest mistake was not resigning his power. But Caesar, being Caesar, not only held on to it and accepted the Dictator for Life title, but he grew arrogant and disregarded even the common courtesies due to the senate.
The dictator of Rome was usually Caesar. There have been many Caesars over the course of many years, but when elected they took on the title of Caesar to be sort of like "king" or "emperor"
A dictator was not an elected position. It was an appointed position. Caesar was made dictator three times,plus an honorific dictatorship. When Julius Caesar was appointed dictator the first time he was 51years old. When he was appointed dictator for ten years he was 54 years old and when he was appointed dictator for life he was 55 years old. When he was designated, or given the title "perpetual dictator" he was 56 years old.
