# Horace The first fact about Horace in a public catalog is a slave farm and a civil-war heading, not a marble bee. Loeb Satires at https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674992146 and Perseus https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.02.0026 print unfree labour and a patron’s gift. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Horace-Roman-poet prints Philippi with Brutus as received. Cambridge Companion at https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cambridge-companion-to-horace/ treats court verse as politics. Gutenberg Carmen at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5419 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 and UNESCO Rome at https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/91/ are access. Capitoline museums at https://www.museicapitolini.org/en present later faces. Ars Poetica as Loeb is a teachable craft beside a taste-gate. What the score must not say: that he authored a 1980 polygon; that one ode is one Fact; that Maecenas’s gift is a free smallholding; that 1926 is 17 BCE. 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. Remaining dated instruments kept after dropping later editions, museums, and split rows: -0042-10-01 Horace serves with Brutus at Philippi as received in later lives; -0035-01-01 Satires print a household and city that buy and joke about enslaved persons; -0037-01-01 Satires and Odes print Maecenas as a gift-and-protection patron; -0023-01-01 Odes print praise of Augustus as public court verse; -0030-01-01 Epodes print invective and sexual humiliation as public verse; -0017-06-01 The Carmen Saeculare is a 17 BCE civic hymn as court-and-college religion; -0019-01-01 Ars Poetica prints rules of taste as a public elite craft; -0033-01-01 Satires print the Sabine farm as a patron’s gift. Later Loeb, UNESCO, and encyclopedia pages are evidence, not additional acts. This catalog keeps only instruments dated to the lifetime (or received lifetime date) of Horace. Posthumous museums, critical editions, UNESCO listings, and political reception by later states are evidence, not additional acts. The honest deficiency is that the current 30-Fact / 10-Article / 10-News Person gate cannot be met from securely dated instruments without attributing later editors and excavators to the ancient name. 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.
