Happy Birthday Horace!

From rogueclassicism:

ante diem vi idus decembres

Rites in honour of Tiberinus and Gaia — not a lot is known about these rites; Tiberinus had a temple on the Tiber island and presided over the Tiber (of course); Gaia seems to have originally given the Campus Martius (a.k.a. Campus Tiberinus) to the Roman people.

65 B.C. — birth of the poet Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus)

    Oops,

    It should read “O magne poeta” I forgot that poeta is masculine!!!! Ignosce mihi.

    Great day for a birthday — it’s also my husband’s 60th! Have to remind him that Q. Horatius Flaccus is a few milennia his senior. Maybe it will lessen the shock, LOL!
