| | Roman dictator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Magister Equitum was granted Praetorian imperium, thus was subject to the imperium of the Dictator, but in the Dictator’s absence, he became his representative, and exercised the same powers as the Dictator. | | | The superiority of the dictator's power to that of the consuls consisted chiefly of greater independence from the Senate, more extensive power of punishment without a trial by the people, and complete immunity from being held accountable for his actions. | | | However, there is no reason to believe that they had any control over a dictator, or could hamper his proceedings by their power to veto, as they could in the case of the Consuls. |

| | The bystanders rescued him, and as he fled he implored "the protection of the Roman plebs," and said that he was the victim of a conspiracy amongst the patricians, because he had acted generously towards the plebs. | | | The Dictator called out that Quinctius and his men had attacked the enemy in the rear, and on the shouts being renewed, he pressed his own attack with more vigour. | | | Ever since the camps had confronted each other there had been no cessation of small fights, and the Dictator was quite content for his men to match their strength against the enemy, in order that through the issues of these contests they might entertain the hope of a decisive and final victory. |

| | The opposing beliefs of Scipio and Fabius led to their debate in 205 BCE, which the former dictator kicked off by pointing out that by choosing Africa as a theater Scipio was already acting without the Senate’s or the people’s approval. | | | Scipio then claimed he did not wish to belittle Fabius’ past accomplishments (see the above Bruttium note) or inflate his own, and thus ended his speech. | | | Though his actions appeared cruel to Romans and allies both, Fabius received his second triumph for his victory at Tarentum and his son won the consulship in 208 BCE. |
