A dictator was a sole ruler appointed by the senate in times of crises when the senate could not agree on an action to solve the problem. The dictator was usually appointed for a period of six months but his term could be renewed if he needed more time to get results. He was expected to resign the Dictatorship as soon as his job was done.

The dictator ruled with almost absolute power for six months during times of war.
The exact date of the end of the Roman Republic is debated, one commonly accepted date is 44BC - when Julius Caesar was assassinated (after being proclaimed perpetual dictator). Another is 27BC, when the Senate granted extraordinary powers to Octavian (Augustus) - the beginnings of the Roman Empire.The role of perpetual dictator had never existed in the Republic before this time, and it sparked the beginning of an autocratic system.
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.

An autocrat of Rome was Julius Caesar, who played a critical role in the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. Appointed dictator perpetuo (dictator for life) in 44 BCE, his centralization of power and reforms were controversial, leading to his assassination by political rivals. Caesar's leadership marked a significant turning point in Roman history, paving the way for future emperors.

The role of the assemblies in the Roman republic were to create laws and elect the officials of the republic.

The Roman dictator was a practical solution during times of crisis, allowing for swift decision-making and centralized authority. However, the concentration of power often led to abuses and the potential for tyranny, as seen with figures like Julius Caesar. While the role could be effective in managing emergencies, it ultimately contributed to political instability and the decline of the Roman Republic. Thus, the concept had both merits and significant drawbacks.
IDFKK!
