Sulla won two civil wars against Gaius Marius ((91-88 BC and 82 BC). He was appointed by the senate dictator for an indeterminate tern of office to Reform the constinution (dictator legibus faciendis et reipublicae constituendae causa, dictator for the making of laws and for the settling of the constitution). This was the first time that a dictator was not appointed for the usual term of six months. Sulla resigned after one year.
No, the first emperor of Rome was Octavian, who called himself Augustus Caesar. He was the nephew of Julius Caesar, who was the first Dictator for Life.
Once they had conquered villages and other cities, they had to deal with the war slaves and had to give them jobs. Because they had to give the slaves jobs, that took away jobs for the native Romans. Also, once a military ruler had conquered large areas of land, they kept wanting to expand and conquer. They became very power hungry and blood thirsty. Thus creating emperors and dictators. This is how you spell Romains, wait no, Romans: R-O-M-A-N-S
The only appointed "sole ruler" office was that of Dictator and he was only appointed in times of crisis. Until Julius Caesar, that is. Caesar was appointed Dictator for Life, but his life didn't last too long after that appointment.
Caesar was appointed dictator four times. The first was in 49 BC and he was reappointed in 48 BC. In 46 BC he was appointed dictator for ten years. Here is where a little confusion enters, in 45 BC he was appointed dictator for life, while in 44 BC he was appointed perpetual dictator. These last two appointments seem to be the same thing with different names.Caesar was appointed dictator four times. The first was in 49 BC and he was reappointed in 48 BC.

It is actually Julius Ceasar, he was also the first dictator of rome.Actually…Flavus was the first designated dictator. Dictator was a temporary office created in times of national emergency, when the country was under martial law. Cincinnatus famously was summoned from his plowing and, once the crisis was over, resigned the dictatorship, and returned to his plow. There are over forty dictators listed in Roman archives. However, Julius Caesar is the only one created Dictator in Perpetuus. Following Caesar's assassination, his heir, Octavius, became the Emperor of Rome, known as Caesar Augustus, although his official title was Princeps.
After becoming a dictator of Rome for life in 45BC a year later he was assassinated.
Julius Caesar and Mussolini have been described as "The Dictator of Rome"

Julius Caesar
Not who, but what turned Rome into an empire. There was no single person who established the empire. Scipio Africanus could be considered one of the founders of the empire by his defeat of Hannibal. Rome became an established empire after the second Punic war. All the prewar events, the war events, and the after events of the Punic wars contributed to Rome's becoming an empire.
Julius Caesar is a man who was in the First Triumvirate of Rome. He also was the first dictator of Rome. A correction here. Julius Caesar was not the first dictator of Rome. There were 78 men who held the office of dictator before Caesar.
There were various leaders who led Rome as it was becoming an empire. The senate either raised an army or appointed a dictator. Scipio, Sulla, Marius, Pompey, and Caesar all contributed. There was no one leader.
