Deperditarum Fabularum Fragmenta... [Latin]

By Caii Caecilii Statii

Book Overview

Deperditarum Fabularum Fragmenta... presents the surviving fragments of the lost plays of Statius Caecilius, a Roman comic poet of the 2nd century BCE. This collection, meticulously compiled and edited by Leonhard Spengel, offers invaluable insights into the development of Roman comedy and the linguistic characteristics of early Latin. Though only fragments remain, they provide tantalizing glimpses into Caecilius's dramatic style, his use of language, and his engagement with the social and cultural themes of his time. For scholars and students of Latin literature, Roman history, and classical drama, this volume offers a unique opportunity to engage with a voice from the past and to reconstruct, however partially, a lost chapter in the history of theatre.
