We have all heard of the evil, brutal dictators, but have their ever been, in history, good, gentlel dictators?
I got to thinking and couldn't really think of any, so I ask you guys this question.
If so what did they rule, and what time period?

I think he was named Consul for life in the end.Originally Posted by tibilicus
He didn't spend much time governing though, he was fighting Senate armies for 2 years after he achieved that position. Then he got butchered after he defeated them.
Cyrus the Great, Cambyses II, Darius the Great... all enlightened despots.
All the monarchs noted in history as 'enlightened absolutists', such as Catherine the Great, Frederick the Great and our very own William I, were also 'gentle dictators' (although I have some doubts about ol' William).

caesar was dictator 5 times (that is in 5 years) than he became dictator for 10 years and then for life but he was murdered few months after
he also was consul 5 times
caesar as you know never took the crown
he was loved by the people but the aristocracy hated him
