Icon of person Quintus Hortensius

Quintus Hortensius was an ancient Roman, appointed to the office of dictator in the year 287 BC. When the people, pressed by their patrician creditors, "seceded" to the Janiculum, Hortensius was made dictator to put an end to the strife. He passed a law (known as the Lex Hortensia) whereby the resolutions of the plebeian assembly (plebiscita) were made binding on all the citizens, without the approval of the Senate being necessary. This was not a mere re-enactment of previous laws. Read more on Wikipedia
