A dictator was appointed by the senate in the times of a crises. He had supreme power and was expected to resign his Dictatorship as soon as the problem was solved. To us, the best known dictator was Julius Caesar. To the Romans the best known dictator was Cinncinatus in the positive sense, and Sulla in the negative sense.

How did Julius Caesar get to be emperor?

He was never emperor. He was appointed as "Dictator for life" by the Senate in 45 B.C.E. A year later he was assassinated by members of the Senate. His great nephew Octavian later known as Augustus was his heir and he became Rome's first emperor in 27 B.C.E.


Why is Caesar a great leader?

Caesar was one of history's most important figures. Rome was a broken republic, in the hands of the Senate, the richer citizens. The over populating Plebeian group was poor and suffering until Caesar came into power. He led Rome's army to victory and expanded the boundaries. Some say he was a power hungry leader once he became a dictatator. He gave food to the poor until he had Rome's military and Plebeians to support him. The Senate was jealous and afraid of his power, and murdered him on March 15, 44 BC. He truly was a great man who dedicated his entire life to his nation.
