Is it true that Cincinnatus was given dictatorial power to save Rome and resigned after 16 days to return to his farm?
Yes. A reference article on Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus states he was summoned from his plough to assume complete control of the state and, after a swift victory in sixteen days, relinquished power and returned to his farm. Other items confirm his dictatorship and voluntary relinquishing of power but do not give the sixteen-day figure.
