Answer:

Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus

First Roman dictator. Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was a Roman general and statesman. About 458 B.C., the Roman Senate chose him dictator of the Republic. Cincinnatus was charged with rescuing a Roman army that faced total destruction by the Aequi, a tribe of ancient Italy. He defeated the enemy within 16 days but refused all honors and resigned the dictatorship. Vested again with dictatorial power in 439 B.C., he suppressed a rebellion by some poor people and then retired to his farm. Later generations considered him a model of Roman virtue.
