This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the "Studies in History, Economics and Public Law" of Columbia University. Believing that the social life of the Ciceronian Age and the Imperial Period has been treated in exhaustive detail while that of the Republic has been comparatively neglected, the author has chosen the first half of the second century B. C. for her subject. She has chosen her sources chiefly from Plautus and Terence, but also from Polybius, Livy, and Cato's "De re rustica." She feels that _the comedies of Plautus and Terence give more information of Roman private life than has generally been believed. The preface states that in nearly every instance the material obtained from the comedies is paralleled and substantiated by references from Cato, Polybius, Livy and similar sources. The chapter headings indicate the nature and extent of the book: Town and Country Houses; Women and Marriages; General and Higher Education; Slaves; Freedmen and. Clients; Finance and Industry; Religion; Morals and Character. Whether all scholars agree with the deductions drawn, there will, however, be few to dispute the excellence of the work. The clear presentation and scholarly treatment are throughout noticeable. -Historical Outlook: A Journal for Readers, Students and Teachers, Vol. 10 [1919]
Book Synopsis Social and Private, Life at Rome in the Time of Plautus and Terence (Classic Reprint) by : Georgia Williams Leffingwell
Download or read book Social and Private, Life at Rome in the Time of Plautus and Terence (Classic Reprint) written by Georgia Williams Leffingwell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social and Private, Life at Rome in the Time of Plautus and Terence To assemble as far as possible the source evidence on social and private life at Rome during the first half of the second century B. C., and from this evidence to draw certain conclusions which will give a clearer understanding of the habits of thought and the feelings of the average citizen of the time is the purpose of this study. While literary sources for Roman life in this period of the Republic are less available than, for the Ciceronian age or for the Empire, a knowledge of the earlier period is of importance not only for its own sake as a critical moment in the history of Graeco-Roman civilization, but as a basis for comparison with later developments. The very fact of the scarcity of material and the consequent lack of information in regard to this subject may be given as the chief reason for the present work. Roman life in the Imperial period has received a large amount of attention and been treated in exhaustive detail by modern writers, but the question of Roman life in the period of the Republic has been comparatively neglected. Warde Fowler in his Social Life at Rome in the age of Cicero embodies in his chapters a series of delightful sketches of conditions at the close of the Republican period, but the book throws little light on the century preceding the Ciceronian age, and in any case is of little value for reference purposes. The larger works on Roman life, such as Marquardt's Privatleben der Romer, devote some attention to Republican conditions. The statements, however, are scattered and more or less general, and the source references given are far from complete.

Book Synopsis The Life of Comedy after the Death of Plautus and Terence by : Mathias Hanses
Download or read book The Life of Comedy after the Death of Plautus and Terence written by Mathias Hanses and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Comedy after the Death of Plautus and Terence documents the ongoing popularity of Roman comedies, and shows that they continued to be performed in the late Republic and early Imperial periods of Rome. Playwrights Plautus and Terence impressed audiences with stock characters as the young-man-in-love, the trickster slave, the greedy pimp, the prostitute, and many others. A wide range of spectators visited Roman theaters, including even the most privileged members of Roman society: orators like Cicero, satirists like Horace and Juvenal, and love poets like Catullus and Ovid. They all put comedy’s varied characters to new and creative uses in their own works, as they tried to make sense of their own lives and those of the people around them by suggesting comparisons to the standard personality types of Roman comedy. Scholars have commonly believed that the plays fell out of favor with theatrical audiences by the end of the first century BCE, but The Life of Comedy demonstrates that performances of these comedies continued at least until the turn of the second century CE. Mathias Hanses traces the plays’ reception in Latin literature from the late first century BCE to the early second century CE, and shines a bright light on the relationships between comic texts and the works of contemporary and later Latin writers.

Book Synopsis Theatrum Arbitri by : C. Panayotakis
Download or read book Theatrum Arbitri written by C. Panayotakis and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theatrum Arbitri is a literary study dealing with the possible influence of Roman comic drama (comedies of Plautus and Terence, theatre of the Greek and Roman mimes, and fabula Atellana) on the surviving fragments of Petronius' Satyrica. The theatrical assessment of this novel is carried out at the levels of plot-construction, characterization, language, and reading of the text as if it were the narrative equivalent of a farcical staged piece with the theatrical structure of a play produced before an audience. The analysis follows the order of each of the scenes in the novel. The reader will also find a brief general commentary on the less discussed scenes of the Satyrica, and a comprehensive account of the theatre of the mimes and its main features.

Book Synopsis Fairs and Markets in the Roman Empire by : L. de Ligt
Download or read book Fairs and Markets in the Roman Empire written by L. de Ligt and published by Dutch Monographs on Ancient Hi. This book was released on 1993 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Periodic markets are institutions of crucial importance in all pre-industrial economies. Yet the subject has been given little atten-tion by Roman historians. The aim of this book is to remedy this state of affairs through an empire-wide study of annual, bi-annual, monthly and 'weekly' markets. The method used involves the interpretation of the ancient evidence in terms of economic and anthropo-logical theory and against the background of comparative data. Dr de Ligt starts by demonstrat-ing the continued importance of local and regional fairs throughout the im-perial period. Special attention is devoted to the role of both annual fairs and high-frequency periodic markets in the rural economy. In the second half of the book the scope of the discussion is extended to social and political aspects. Finally, the book addresses such topics as urban resistance towards neighbouring rural markets and the widespread practice of waiving customs duties for the duration of largescale religious festivals.

Download or read book Roman Comedy written by David Konstan and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the social institutions, the prevailing social values, and the ideology of the ancient city-state as revealed in Roman Comedy. "The very essence of comedy is social," writes David Konstan, "and in the complex movement of its plots we may be able to discern the lineaments and contradictions of the reigning ideas of an age." David Konstan looks closely at eight plays: Plautus's Aulularia, Asinaria, Captivi, Rudens, Cistellaria, and Truculentus, and Terence's Phormio and Hecyra. Offering new interpretations of each, he develops a "typology of plot forms" by analyzing structural features and patterns of conventional behavior in the plays, and he relates the results of his literary analysis to contemporary social conditions. He argues that the plays address tensions that were potentially disruptive to the ancient city-state, and that they tended to resolve these tensions in ways that affirmed traditional values. Roman Comedy is an innovative and challenging book that will be welcomed by students of classical literature, ancient social history, the history of the theater, and comedy as a genre.
Book Synopsis Roman Republican Theatre by : Gesine Manuwald
Download or read book Roman Republican Theatre written by Gesine Manuwald and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theatre flourished in the Roman Republic, from the tragedies of Ennius and Pacuvius to the comedies of Plautus and Terence and the mimes of Laberius. Yet apart from the surviving plays of Plautus and Terence the sources are fragmentary and difficult to interpret and contextualise. This book provides a comprehensive history of all aspects of the topic, incorporating recent findings and modern approaches. It discusses the origins of Roman drama and the historical, social and institutional backgrounds of all the dramatic genres to be found during the Republic (tragedy, praetexta, comedy, togata, Atellana, mime and pantomime). Possible general characteristics are identified, and attention is paid to the nature of and developments in the various genres. The clear structure and full bibliography also ensure that the book has value as a source of reference for all upper-level students and scholars of Latin literature and ancient drama.
