Description

The Aulularia is a Roman comedy by Titus Maccius Plautus, written around 200 BCE. This play showcases Plautus' unique blend of Greek New Comedy and Roman style, featuring imaginative metre and archaic language.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the Aulularia is its vivid portrayal of a single character, Euclio, whose presentation and development are unmatched in surviving Latin drama. The play's unfinished state has sparked debate among scholars about how it could have been completed, raising interesting questions about the relationship between Roman comedy and Greek theatrical tradition.

This new edition includes an introduction that will be of interest to students of literature and classics, as well as a substantial chapter on the rich reception of the Aulularia in modern literature. With no new English commentary published since 1913, this book provides a valuable opportunity to engage with one of the oldest substantial surviving documents in Latin.
