Excerpt from Q. Horatii Flacci Carminum Liber II: Edited With Introduction, Notes Vocabulary for the Use of Schools
Q. Horatius Flaccus was born on Dec. 8th B.C. 65, in the consulship of L. Aurelius Cotta and L. Manlius Torquatus, five years after Virgil and two years before C. Octavius who subsequently became the emperor Augustus. The place of his birth was Venusia, a town in Apulia on the borders of Lucania close to Mount Vultur and the 'far-echoing Aufidus.' His father was a 'freedman' (libertinus), and had been a 'collector,' probably of taxes, though others credit him with having been a 'dealer in salt-fish.'
