Квинт Гортензий Гортал
In 80 BC, Dolabella was made proconsul of Macedonia, a position which he held until 78 BC. In 77 BC Dolabella was granted a triumph for victories he had achieved while governor over the Thracians, but shortly afterwards he was accused of extortion in Macedonia during his time as governor by the young Julius Caesar and brought to trial. Prosecuted by Caesar, Dolabella was defended by Gaius Aurelius Cotta and Quintus Hortensius. He was found not guilty and acquitted.
