Impact

Not rated yet: the verified records linked to this person, without a numeric impact.

Editorial assessment (context, not the score)

The page is not a marble bee and not a unique author of 8 BCE. The heaviest documented costs in public English are household and farm slavery in the Satires, patronage dependence, and Philippi as later told. The offsets are Loeb/Perseus access, Carmen as civic hymn, and Ars as craft. He did not file 1926. Editors did that work. Confidence is high on those pages, medium on unique war coefficients. Later Loeb pages remain the dated record. Confidence is high on the kept public pages, medium on contested authorship, low on unique modern indicator coefficients.

Loeb Satires at https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674992146 (opens in a new tab) and Perseus https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.02.0026 (opens in a new tab) print unfree labour and a patron’s gift. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Horace-Roman-poet (opens in a new tab) prints Philippi with Brutus as received. Cambridge Companion at https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cambridge-companion-to-horace/ (opens in a new tab) treats court verse as politics. Gutenberg Carmen at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5419 (opens in a new tab) is a civic hymn and a state-religion object — split those rows. School Loebs made his Latin a gate. The offsets are also URLs. LacusCurtius at https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Horace/home.html (opens in a new tab) and UNESCO Rome at https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/91/ (opens in a new tab) are access. Capitoline museums at https://www.museicapitolini.org/en (opens in a new tab) present later faces. Ars Poetica as Loeb is a teachable craft beside a taste-gate. Complex contribution is the honest type. Confidence is high on Loeb/Perseus texts, medium on unique Philippi acts, low on Forum epidemiology. Related people are Maecenas, Augustus, Virgil, Brutus. 1926 is a Loeb. 1980 is UNESCO. 17 BCE is received on a later carrier. The useful question is which later public pages still move slavery, patronage, and civic hymn under his name. Keep Satires Carmen Loeb and UNESCO on separate dates. Later Loeb, UNESCO, and encyclopedia pages are evidence, not additional acts. Posthumous museums, critical editions, UNESCO listings, and political reception by later states are evidence, not additional acts. Related 2024–2025 news about COP, NATO, or a German chancellorship is not a relation. Hostile vita slander is not upgraded. Off-family indicator padding is refused. Confidence is high on named public pages, medium on unique coefficients, low on anecdote.
