How are modern dictators different from the early Roman dictators?

Modern dictators often maintain power through a combination of authoritarian governance, manipulation of democratic processes, and control over media and information, while early Roman dictators were typically appointed during emergencies for a limited term, with specific powers. Additionally, modern dictators often utilize advanced technology for surveillance and Propaganda, whereas Roman dictators relied on traditional military and political means. Furthermore, the context of international relations and global interconnectedness today presents unique challenges and opportunities for modern dictators that were not present in ancient Rome.
