About This Item
1749 HORACE Roman Literature Latin Classical Rome Illustrated Engravings 2v SET
"We are but dust and shadow."
― Horace
Horace was the most important Roman poet during the 1st-century BC. He composed satires, odes, epistles, and other poetic verses; works that have been referenced and studied for centuries. Horace's works have yielded some famous quotes that have influenced cultures and societies including "Carpe Diem!" (seize the day) and "Pactum serva" (keep the faith).
This mid-18th-century edition of Horace is notable for its impressive illustrations throughout! An impressive set!
