Thus it came to pass that in 501 BC, nine years after the expulsion of the kings, the dictatorship (dictatura) was instituted.
The first plebeian dictator was Gaius Marcius Rutilius, nominated in 356 BC by the plebeian consul Marcus Popillius Laenas.
In the next year, 216 BC, after the battle of Cannae, Marcus Junius Pera was also nominated Dictator, but this was the last time of the appointment of a Dictator rei gerendae causa.

 THE PTOLEMAIC PERIOD
Ptolemy I Soter I (ruled 305-285 BC) was the founder of the Ptolemaic line, and he took the Egyptian throne after the death of Alexander IV.
Eventually, a propaganda campaign by Octavian and the actions of Cleopatra VII, the daughter of Ptolemy XII, and the sister-wife of Ptolemy XIII, provided an ideal pretext for the Romans to conquer Egypt.
During the Ptolemaic period and the subsequent Roman period, Alexandria was a thriving and cosmopolitan city, and by the mid-first century BC had a population of around half a million, including substantial numbers of Greeks and Jews.

 datadubai.com: The hisotry of arab oil
Between 323 and 285 BC, the Nabataeans suddenly found themselves at the center of a bitter struggle between two superpowers, each headed by a former general in the army of Alexander the Great: Ptolemy I Soter and Antigonus I Monophthalmos.
In the year 312 BC, Antigonus made his move against Ptolemy: He dispatched a trusted officer Athenaeus, at the head of an army of 4600 men with the dual mission of subduing the "barbarians," as the Greeks referred to the Nabataeans, and of imposing an economic blockade against Egypt's eastern flank.
In the first half of the third century, during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285-247 BC), the Nabataean territory expanded further to include the area of the Hawran in present-day Syria, and a larger tract of the Negev Desert across the Wadi Araba.

Macedonian king of Egypt (reigned 107–88 BC) who, under the direction of his mother, Cleopatra III, ruled Egypt alternately with his brother Ptolemy IX Soter II and around 105 became involved in a civil war in the Seleucid kingdom in Syria.
It is recorded that he founded and taught at a school of mathematics in Alexandria, Egypt, during the reign of Ptolemy I Soter, who ruled from 323 to about 283 BC.

It seems that the enemy list has been limited to foes that only Antigonos himself faced in person, but the ending date of 285 BC clearly indicates that this army list extends to the end of Demetrios.
After the death of Alexander in 323 BC, the high ranking officers in the Macedonian army began quickly quarreling among themselves.

He was appointed dictator rei gerendae causa for a full year in 46 BC and then designated for nine consecutive one-year terms in that office thereafter, functionally becoming dictator for ten years.
The office was later offered to Caesar Augustus, who prudently declined it, and opted instead for tribunician power and consular imperium without holding any office other than pontifex maximus and princeps senatus — a politic arrangement which left him as functional dictator without having to hold the controversial title or office itself.
