There's a quiet wit in the curve of his mouth and the spark in his eyes, the unmistakable presence of a poet who observes the world with both affection and irony.

Horace was a Roman poet whose works are cited regarding pagan beliefs, and whose care for national dignity was celebrated by the poets of his time. The distance between Horace and later poets like George of Pisidia measures the decay of genius.
Description
An adult Roman poet with a refined, expressive face, olive skin, and dark, curling hair. His bright, intelligent eyes and sensitive features are framed by the simple yet elegant tunic and toga of a Roman gentleman.
