Horace

The next Roman history book chat will discuss Horace. On Irene Hahn's blog, she mentions there is a shortage of biographical information on Horace. The Internet Archive provides a wealth of out-of-copyright material, including an old-fashioned biography of Horace: Horace, by Wm Tuckwell (1829-1919). London: G. Bell & sons. 1905. There are others to search for, but this first one I looked at seems to have the info. The photo of a bronze medallion of Horace comes from the book. It is attributed to the reign of Constantine. The photo of a bust of Horace's patron, Maecenas, which is also from the book, is from the Palace of the Conservators at Rome.
