Quintus Hortensius (or possibly Lucius Hortensius)[1] (fl. 2nd century BC) was a Roman politician who was elected consul for 108 BC, but was prosecuted before he could take office.
In 111 BC, it is believed that Hortensius served as praetor in Sicily.[4] He was then elected consul in 109 BC for the following year (108 BC), but was put on trial and condemned prior to taking office, most likely for electoral bribery.[5] He most likely then had his citizenship revoked before being exiled.
