QUINTUS HORACE FLACCUS
(65 - 8 BC)
POET

Memorial mail,
Rome to Salerno, 12 November 1937 |

Italian
stamps commemorate 2,000th anniversary of the birth of Horace.
Horace's
bisexuality and male chauvinism are evident in his poetry.
Revering
gay relationships as a superior kind of love, the poet's only
experiences
with women were in houses of prostitution.
