EDITORS COMMENTS
Quintus Hortensius Hortalus: A Prominent Figure in the Late Roman Republic Quintus Hortensius Hortalus (114-50 BC) was a renowned Roman statesman and orator, whose eloquence and political acumen left an indelible mark on the late Roman Republic. This evocative image captures the essence of Hortensius' distinguished career, as he stands before an attentive audience, poised to deliver a powerful speech. Born into a noble family, Hortensius began his political career under the patronage of Marcus Tullius Cicero, the famous orator and statesman. He quickly distinguished himself as a formidable orator, earning the nickname 'Hortensius the Good' for his eloquence and persuasive abilities. Hortensius' political career was marked by his opposition to Julius Caesar and the rise of the triumvirate. He was a staunch defender of the Senate and the traditional Roman Republic, and his speeches against Caesar were renowned for their passion and eloquence. Despite his opposition to Caesar, Hortensius was a pragmatic politician, and he was not above making alliances when it served his interests. This print, produced by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the world of ancient Rome, transporting us back to a time of political intrigue, oratorical brilliance, and the struggle for power. The image of Quintus Hortensius Hortalus, with his confident gaze and outstretched hand, serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Roman Republic and the men and women who shaped its history.
