Magistracy overview

A dictator was an extraordinary chief magistrate at Rome. The name is of Latin origin, and the office existed in many Latin towns before it was introduced into Rome (Dionys. V.74). We find it in Lanuvium even in very late times (Cic. pro Mil. 10). At Rome, in the most archaic times, this magistrate was called praetor maximus and magister populi, not dictator (Cic. de Rep. I.40, de Leg. III.3, de Fin. III.22; Var. L.L. v.82, ed. Müller; Festus, s.v. optima lex, p198, ed. Müller).

This list of Roman dictatores is taken from Magistrates of the Roman Republic by Thomas Robert Shannon Broughton.
