for other meanings of Hortensius Hortensius disambiguation Quintus Hortensius was a plebs plebeian appointed to the office of Roman Dictator dictator of Rome in the year 287 BC . When the people, pressed by their patrician creditors, seceded to the Janiculum , he was commissioned to put an end to the strife. He passed a law known as the Lex Hortensia whereby the resolutions of the multitude plebiscita were made binding on all the citizens, without the approval of the Roman Senate Senate being necessary. This was not a mere re enactment of previous laws. Another law, passed about the same time, which declared the nundinae market days to be dies fasti days on which legal business might be transacted , is also attributed to him. He is said to have died while still in office, thus making him if true one of two formal dictators to die in office in history, with the other being Julius Caesar .
