"Dictator," Roman Word The word "dictator" is a Roman word to describe a person legally appointed by the senate or govern ing body for meeting a special cri sis during a brief period. He was a constitutional, unselfish statesman, and retired quietly as soon as his brief period ended. There was an other title, "tyrant," for rr.cn who forced their way to control of the state and tried to remain in power, according to an authority in Pear- ; son's London Weekly. Caesar was assassinated because his enemies said he was a tyrant, not a dictator. Dictators are true statesmen; ty rants are despots. AMELIA A.
