Cincinnatus! Cincinnatus was a military general who became a farmer when he retired from the army. One day, a foreign army surrounded Rome. The Romans searched for Cincinnatus in order to request his leadership and found him at his plow. Cincinnatus agreed and became temporary dictator of Rome. Roman definition of dictator: During times of emergencies, all power was given to one man instead of the two consuls. Term of office: 6 months Cincinnatus took power and defeated the army in 16 days. Rather than continue leading Rome as a military dictator, Cincinnatus returned back to his plow and lived a quiet life. Cincinnatus became an example of moral virtue, for he did not desire ultimate power, even though he could have used the army to take over Rome.
