Plutarch, Fabius, 4.1

nan Accordingly, this course was adopted, and Fabius was appointed dictator. In the absence of a consul, who alone could appoint a dictator, the people made Fabius pro-dictator ( Livy, xxii. 8. ) He himself appointed Marcus Minucius to be his Master of Horse, and then at once asked permission of the senate to use a horse himself when in the field. For this was not his right, but was forbidden by an ancient law, either because the Romans placed their greatest strength in their infantry, and for this reason thought that their commander ought to be with the phalanx and not leave it; or because they wished, since the power of the office in all other respects is as great as that of a tyrant, that in this point at least the dictator should be plainly dependent on the people.
