Who is a dictator in Rome?

Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was a Roman general and statesman. About 458 B.C., the Roman Senate chose him dictator of the Republic. Cincinnatus was charged with rescuing a Roman army that faced total destruction by the Aequi, a tribe of ancient Italy. He defeated the enemy within 16 days but refused all honors and resigned the dictatorship. Vested again with dictatorial power in 439 B.C., he suppressed a rebellion by some poor people and then retired to his farm. Later generations considered him a model of Roman virtue.

Cincinnatus is the figure who became a dictator of Rome during a time of crisis. He was appointed to lead Rome in battle against the invading forces, and after achieving victory, he voluntarily relinquished his power and returned to his farm. His actions exemplified the values of duty and humility in Roman society, making him a symbol of civic virtue.

Why is Cincinnati's a good example if the roman idea of civic duty?

I guess you mean Cincinnatus. Cincinnatus was an aristocrat who had lost most of its lands to pay for a huge fine for his son. He retired to work to a small farm. When the Romans were defeated by the Aequi he was appointed as dictator. This was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed for six months to deal with emergencies and with a specific mandate. Cincinnatus was told about his appointment while he was ploughing his farm. He led the army and defeated the Aequi. He then resigned and returned to his farm 15 days after he had been appointed as he had accomplished his mandate. He was appointed dictator for a second time to suppress a conspiracy. As soon as he completed his task he resigned again. Cincinnatus was idealised by later Romans and a prime example of the higher virtues and moral rectitude of the Romans in their older days. Many later Romans felt that when Rome later acquired an empire and great wealth, this corrupted the elite. It created greed, a thirst for wealth and power and power conflicts. Cincinnatus was given supreme power twice and twice he resigned as soon as he accomplished the task he was given, rather than hold on to power for longer. Moreover, he returned to his farm to till it. The Roman aristocracy idealised the Romans as a people of hardy and frugal farmers and despised trade and the merchant class. The story of Cincinnatus being told about his appointment to supreme power while he was ploughing and his return to the plough epitomised this idealised view of the Romans as farmers and created a nostalgic picture of the old days when it was thought that the Romans had been true to their idealised selves.

Was Ccincinnatus a member of the Senate?

We are not told. He was a member of a prominent patrician family. He retired to a small farm after He had to sellmostof his land to pay a hefty fine related to a trial of his son. He was elected suffect consul, a consul who stood in for a consul who did not complete his term of office. He was also appointed dictator twice. Given that he headed the Roman state three times, it is hard to imagine that he never sat in the senate. However, there is no mention of this in work of ancient historian Livy.
