The Roman Republic never became a dictatorship. The republic fell and was replaced by 503 year of rule by emperors which was established by Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, in 27 BC. The emperors were absolute rulers. Julius Caesar had himself appointed dictator for life in 44 BC. However, the term dictator was very different in Roman times. The dictator was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed by senatorial decree to deal with emergencies.

What was one of julius Caesar's achievements?

He fought battles, subdued provinces, defeated internal enemies, but then so had plenty of others who had won most of the empire. Fabius Maximus got Maximus - the Greatest, while Pompey and even Alexander only got Magnus - the Great. It might have been the greatest problem of all of stabilising the Roman state however he wasn't smart enough how to work it out. He improved on Sulla's attempt, but by making himself dictator for life, had no enduring solution and it naturally fell apart when his life was ended. Solving that main problem was left to Augustus. His accomplisment was rather one of public relations. Post mortem, he was raised amongst the gods. He didn't get Great or Greatest, he simply got Caesar - he became the image of a successful and divine ruler - so successfully was this presented that subsequent rulers wanted the trademark name of Caesar. Augustus, his adopted son, took the name Caesar, as did the subsequent emperors. We even find this down to the Czar of Russia and Kaiser of Germany (both corruptions of Caesar). Even though Caesar is a jocular catch name for Baldy (baldness ran in his family, and although Caesar meant 'fine head of hair' it was a joke) later important people all were quite anxious for the title because of the aura of success, invicibility and divine right.
