Golden Horseshoes

Roman writers inform us that Com
modus caused the hoofs Of his horse to
be gilded. Nero when he undertook
short journeys was always, drawn by
mules that had silver shoes. and those
Of his wife. Poppaea. had shoes Of

there is reason TO think that the upper
part only was formed Of those noble
metals or that they were perhaps plat
ed out Of thin slips. When Boniface.
marquis Of Tuscany. one OF the richest
princes Of his time. went to Beatrix,
about the year 1O3s. bis whole train
was so magnifcently decorated that
his horses were shod with silver. The
nails were even OF the same metal.
