"What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible. And when the problems get bad enough...some one person will come forward and say 'Give me total power and I will solve this problem.' That is how the Roman republic fell, Souther said in a 2012 interview."
After some digging, I found this:
"Having defeated all his enemies, Caesar was granted a 10-year dictatorship for purposes of restoring the republic. His solution was to reconstitute himself as a Roman form of Hellenistic divine king or ruler."
