Historical Usage
There is a legend that St. Horace was a Roman soldier who converted to Christianity and was martyred during the persecution of Emperor Maxentius in the early 4th century. According to the legend, Horace was a centurion who was ordered to execute two Christian deacons, but instead, he released them and went on to convert himself and many others to Christianity. Horace was then arrested, tortured, and executed.
Early 4th century
Another tradition associates St. Horace with the founding of the Abbey of Horacium in France around the 7th century. According to this legend, Horace was a hermit who lived in the forest near the current site of the abbey and was renowned for his holiness and miraculous healings. The abbey was built in his honor and became a center of pilgrimage and learning.
