Summary/Abstract: The Roman dictatorship is undoubtedly the most outstanding example of normative order to contain the concept of emergency powers. It illustrates, in a remarkable manner, how conventional restraints were markedly effective in achieving a transient and temporary deviation from the established legal order, formally and consciously made, solely to meet a genuine crisis, reverting to normality as soon as the necessity for its existence subsided, and avoiding its institutionalization.
