EDITORS COMMENTS
Terence, the Eloquent Playwright of the Roman Republic: A 18th Century Engraving This engraving depicts Terence, the renowned Roman playwright of the late Republican era, as he is traditionally portrayed. Terence, whose full name was Publius Terentius Afer, was born around 195 BC in Carthage, North Africa. He is considered one of the three great Roman comic playwrights, alongside Plautus and Caecilius. Terence's works, which were influenced by Greek New Comedy, were marked by their wit, elegance, and social commentary. His plays often dealt with contemporary issues and explored themes of love, marriage, and human relationships. Terence's unique ability to blend Greek and Roman elements in his plays made him a favorite among the Roman elite and the common people alike. This engraving, created in the 18th century, captures Terence in the prime of his life. He is depicted as a thoughtful and introspective man, holding a scroll, which symbolizes his literary prowess. The round frame surrounding the image emphasizes the importance of Terence's contribution to the world of literature and the arts. The inscription at the bottom of the print reads "Terentius," indicating the subject of the image. The year 1736, which is also inscribed, suggests that this engraving was produced during the height of the Enlightenment period, when there was renewed interest in the classical world and its literary figures. Terence's legacy as a playwright and a cultural icon continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day. His plays, which have been translated into numerous languages, remain a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the timeless themes of love, friendship, and the human condition.
