The Lex Hortensia was a Roman law of 287 BCE, passed under the dictator Quintus Hortensius after a secession of the plebeians. It made the resolutions of the plebeian assembly binding on all Roman citizens, patricians included. It is traditionally regarded as the end of the Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians.
