Horte'nsius

10. M. Hortensius Hortalus, Q. F. Q. N., brother of the last, and grandson of the orator. In the time of Augustus he was in great poverty. The emperor gave him enough to support a senator's rank, and promoted his marriage. Under Tiberius we find him, with four children, again reduced to poverty. (Tac. Ann. 2.37, 38; Suet. Aug. 41; D. C. 54.17.)
