'Dictator perpetuus' is Latin for dictator in perpetuity. It is applied to a head of state and head of government.

Dictator perpetuus is the title given to Julius Caesar between January 26 and February 15 of the year 44 BCE.[1]

Contrary to popular perception, Julius Caesar was not dictator in perpetuity for five years. From 49 BCE to 45 BCE, he was dictator interregnum. He was assassinated within one month of being given the title of dictator perpetuus by the Roman Senate.
