First of all, in all of history. There is no such thing as a dictatorship. You can only push a people so far before they rise up to challenge you (and maybe even kill you). At some point, you have to appease the people. Casaer did more than that. He gave the Roman people pride. Rome was willing to follow him and that cannot be called a dictatorship.

So much so that his name was revered and remembered by the Romans (and Europeans - think Kaiser and Tzar - both take off on the name Casaer) far more than Ciecero. The Romans obviosuly approved of Casaer's actions.
