Who refused to be king or act as a dictator for any time longer than necessary?
You are probably thinking of Cincinnatus. Cincinnatus was a politician in ancient Rome, hundreds of years before Julius Caesar was born. One of the cities near Rome attacked another city, which was friends of Rome's. A Roman army went to rescue their friends, but the enemy managed to surround the Roman camp, besieging the army. So the legend goes that some of the soldiers escaped and told the Roman Senate what happened. The Senate named Cincinnatus "dictator", which for the ancient Roman Republic was a special political office that basically made him a king temporarily- for six months, or the end of the emergency, whichever comes first. When the Senate officials went to find him, he was supposedly at his farm, plowing his fields. He stopped plowing, got his own army, freed the besieged army, and returned back to his fields fifteen days later.

Why is Cincinnati's a good example if the roman idea of civic duty?
I guess you mean Cincinnatus. Cincinnatus was an aristocrat who had lost most of its lands to pay for a huge fine for his son. He retired to work to a small farm. When the Romans were defeated by the Aequi he was appointed as dictator. This was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed for six months to deal with emergencies and with a specific mandate. Cincinnatus was told about his appointment while he was ploughing his farm. He led the army and defeated the Aequi. He then resigned and returned to his farm 15 days after he had been appointed as he had accomplished his mandate. He was appointed dictator for a second time to suppress a conspiracy. As soon as he completed his task he resigned again. Cincinnatus was idealised by later Romans and a prime example of the higher virtues and moral rectitude of the Romans in their older days. Many later Romans felt that when Rome later acquired an empire and great wealth, this corrupted the elite. It created greed, a thirst for wealth and power and power conflicts. Cincinnatus was given supreme power twice and twice he resigned as soon as he accomplished the task he was given, rather than hold on to power for longer. Moreover, he returned to his farm to till it. The Roman aristocracy idealised the Romans as a people of hardy and frugal farmers and despised trade and the merchant class. The story of Cincinnatus being told about his appointment to supreme power while he was ploughing and his return to the plough epitomised this idealised view of the Romans as farmers and created a nostalgic picture of the old days when it was thought that the Romans had been true to their idealised selves.
Who is similar to Cincinnatis?

Why has Cincinnatus been widely admired?
Cincinnatus was mythologised centuries later by Roman historians and the aristocracy. He was appointed dictator in 458 BC to lead the Roman army against Aequi, whom he defeated at the Battle of Mons Algidus. He was a patrician (aristocrat) who had been impoverished by having to pay a huge fine for his son. He retreated to his small farm outside Rome. Cincinnatus was told of his appointment as dictator while he was ploughing his field. After defeating the Aqeui, he disbanded his army, resigned returned to his plough. His resignation in itself was nothing exceptional. Dictators were supposed to resign when they completed their mandated task. It is the leaving the plough and returning to it which created the mythologising. It epitomised the ideals of the Roman aristocracy who liked to see the Romans as frugal and hardy farmers. Cincinnatus was seen as a perfect case of service to the greater good, civic virtue, lack of personal ambition, modesty and Roman gravitas and was seen as an indication of the rectitude of the older days as compared to the perceived decadence of the later days when Roman historians were writing their histories. Another element that contributed to the mythologising of Cincinnatus was the fact which he dealt with Spurius Maelius's alleged attempt to become a king. To the Romans of the Republic, monarchy was seen as tyranny and Cincinnatus was seen as a saviour of liberty.
