Topic: Horace’s Trip from Hell – Pre-modern History
Horace, a well-known Roman poet, is here travelling as a common man.
Discuss 1-2 examples of the difficulties he faces as he travels on the Appian Way, as well as the degree to which those difficulties help us to understand Roman expectations of comfort during travel.
Your response needs to be in Microsoft Word (.docx) . It should be 1-1.5 pages long, double-spaced, and in twelve-point Times New Roman Font. Do not focus on the historical context for Horace’s travel, but rather on the travel conditions he describes in his ode.
