Dictator

During the Roman Republic they often had a Dictator to lead them through the trouble era. Often the Senate would elect a Dictator for a specific term, but it has been known that the Senate would lengthen these terms if necessary or was bribed by those that wanted their ally to be Dictator.

The Dictator had all the powers of a King, in all but the name. The Roman Republic still had an anger against Kings from its early age.
