Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take notes for Pliny the Elder? Surely he had a secretary to assist him with his writing, or did he take his own notes? He left a huge body of material in his Historia Naturalis. What must his home office have looked like with all the detritus of constant writing and research scattered about? I have often wondered these things and many others about the process of ancient writing. As a Latin teacher, I decided to try out ancient writing with my students as a STEM project.

“…Closest in time to Horace is a carbonised pyramid of six accounting scrolls found inside the remains of a wooden armarium from the Casa del Sacello di Legno at Herculaneum ( ins . V.31), on which see Pugliese Carratelli (1950) 274; Camodeca and Del Mastro (2002) 282–5; Meyer (2009) 574. An armarium holding a stack of scrolls in the Alcaic arrangement with one scroll missing and another in use is likewise depicted on the fourth-century CE sarcophagus of a Greek physician found at Ostia and now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (Accession Number 48.76.1; see Fig.…”

This paper contends that Horace's comparison of his completed poetic monument to pyramids at the end of Odes 1–3 is both figurative and literal insofar as we possess ample art historical, literary and papyrological evidence from antiquity for the stacking of an appropriate number of book (sc)rolls in ‘pyramidal’ form. Most notable in this regard is the dedication to Delian Apollo of a triangular casket containing the ten books of Aristarchus' edition of Alcaeus, whose resonances with the Pythagorean τετρακτύς, and implications for Horace's own oeuvre, are duly explored.
