B. He was named dictator for life, rather than six months.
This choice highlights the unusual aspect of Julius Caesar's political leadership. In the Roman Republic, a dictator was typically appointed for a limited term of six months during times of crisis. Caesar's appointment as dictator for life in 44 BCE marked a significant departure from this norm and contributed to the tensions that ultimately led to his assassination.
