Horatius Comments

Whilst recently watching a Sci Fi film there was a brief glimpse of an ancient poetry book opened to show a couple of verses of this poem. I recognised the words, and although I have never even thought of them since my school days, I felt obliged to look up the poem on line. I was astounded at how reading it once more made me feel. It is a brilliant story. Thanks for bringing it back to me.

We have to memorize this at my school I personally don't like it

That is one great poem. I'm not too proud to admit it brought me to tears in some bits, as it described what could easily have been the final stand of a proud Roman badass.

i have always enjoyed this poem and the rest of the lays of ancient Rome they are descriptive
