Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus
Short story was he became Dictator of Rome during an invasion. (Rome was a rebublic at the time.) At the end of the crisis Rome offered to make him emperor for life. He declined and went back to his farm. Several years later Rome faced another crisis and once again he was made Dictator of Rome. Once again after the crisis he was offered the posistion for life. He declined and went back to his small farm and lived out his days.
