You have your men mixed up. Julius Caesar was made dictator for life. The office of dictator was a republican office. Augustus did away with the republican form of government for all practical matters, so he was not named dictator.

∙ 11y agoAugustus was technically never named Imperator of Rome, although he retained the title imperator that he was given as Octavian. By the time Octavian was named Augustus, he had already won his military victories and been acclaimed imprerator so was entitled to keep the title. Under the republic, the title "impremater" was a military acclamation given to a victorious general by his troops and a necessary first step in the general's path to a triumph. When the emperors came into power, they took the title for themselves for any military victory during their rule, whether they were in the battles or not. From its military origins, the word imperator became synonymous with the word emperor.
