Books in Old Rome Trained Slave Copyists Turned Them Out Quick

Horace recalls publishers shipping failed authors to the provinces and reshipping failed works as paper to shops. A firm reportedly used 9000 trained slave copyists, with a thousand copies of Martial’s Epigrams ready in an hour sold for 10 cents each.
