A dictator was chosen to rule the Roman Republic, not the Empire, during times of crisis to provide decisive leadership. The most notable example is Julius Caesar, who was appointed dictator perpetuo (dictator for life) in 44 BCE. This appointment was controversial and ultimately led to his assassination, marking a pivotal moment in the transition from Republic to Empire. After Caesar, the title of dictator became less common as the imperial system established itself.
