LEX TITIA
The 'Lex Titia' was a Roman law passed on November 27, 43 BC, that granted triumvirates the right to rule for a period of five years. It is commonly known as the law that formalized and legalized the second triumvirate of Octavian, Mark Antony and Lepidus (the first triumvirate had existed outside of the law).
The passing of the Lex Titia marked the formal end of the Roman Republic, taking away most of the important decision-making powers from the Roman Senate and the popular assemblies, though in practice these powers had already been almost completely subverted by the series of tyrannies that had existed in the preceding half-century. The law, ostensibly only a temporary measure, remained in effect indefinitely.
