Aulularia, Captivi, Trinumus: Terentii Afri Adelphi

By Plautus

This volume presents three comedies by Titus Maccius Plautus: "Aulularia" (The Pot of Gold), "Captivi" (The Captives), and "Trinummus" (Three Bob Day). Plautus, a master of Roman comedy, adapted Greek New Comedy for a Roman audience, infusing his plays with wit, humor, and lively characters.

"Aulularia" tells the story of Euclio, a miser obsessed with his pot of gold. "Captivi" is a unique play for Plautus, lacking female characters and dealing with themes of brotherhood and sacrifice. "Trinummus" explores themes of friendship, generosity, and deception.

These plays offer insight into Roman society, values, and theatrical traditions. Plautus's comedies remain popular for their enduring humor and insightful portrayal of human nature.
