Horace Gold also initiated payment “on acceptance” rather than “on publication” which meant writers received their payment sooner rather than later.

Horace Gold stayed on as editor, until 1959 when health issues forced him into the hospital.

He lost his father prematurely; and after the battle of Philippi and the return of Octavian to Rome, Propertius, like Virgil and Horace, was deprived of his, estate to provide land for the veterans, but, unlike them, he had no patrons at court, and he was reduced from opulence to comparative indigence.

At the time of Strabo and Horace, however, it was the practice to travel by canal from Forum Appii to Lucus Feroniae; to Nerva and Trajan were due the paving of the road and the repair of the bridges along this section.
