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.

During the Roman Republic at times of emergency the consuls appointed a dictator for a term of six months. His mandate was established by senatorial decree. Usually he resigned as soon as the mandate was accomplished, even if it was well before the six months.
