Author Description

This is Volume 2 of a collection of twenty surviving comedies by Titus Maccius Plautus, presented with an index. Plautus was a Roman playwright, known for his farcical and broadly appealing comedies. His works, written in Latin, provide invaluable insights into Roman society, language, and theatrical traditions. These comedies, including well-known titles such as "The Braggart Soldier" and "The Brothers Menaechmus," have been studied and performed for centuries, influencing later playwrights like Shakespeare and Molière. This collection offers a comprehensive resource for scholars and enthusiasts interested in classical literature and the history of dramatic arts. The inclusion of an index enhances its utility for research and study.
