The Country of Horace and Virgil is a non-fiction book written by Gaston Boissier.

Along the way, he provides historical context and cultural insights into the lives of Horace and Virgil, as well as the broader society in which they lived. The book is rich with descriptions of the natural beauty of the countryside, as well as the architecture and art that flourished in the region during the Roman era.
