Dictators are a thing of either Roman antiquity or of the 20th/21st century. In between there were kings or reigning dukes (in Italy) who had near-absolute powers, but nobody considered them 'dictators' at the time.
In ancient Rome, 'dictator' was simply the title (sometimes) given in times of war to someone for a limited period of usually 6 months. This was done when the Roman Senate decided it was necessary that all decisions to be made to get Rome out of a tight spot should be made by one man for maximum efficiency. So back then it was simply a temporary job to be done. If a Roman dictator caused any deaths, it was amongst the enemy soldiers.
