«Aulularia» is the Latin comedy by Titus Maccius Plautus, in paperback, with 141 pages and a trilingual Latin-Valencian-Spanish edition.
Aulularia, also known as The Pot of Gold, centres on Euclio, an old man who finds a pot full of gold. His obsession with hiding it and his distrust of everyone make him a miserly and ridiculous character, an archetype of the skinflint in classical theatre, and lead to numerous comic entanglements.
Published in 2010, with the Latin text established by Fernando Estébanez and translations by Xavier Mata Oroval and Emilio Flor Jiménez.
Recommended for students of Latin and for readers interested in the comic theatre of Roman antiquity.
Titus Maccius Plautus was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by Livius Andronicus, the innovator of Latin literature. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his. He influenced some of the greatest figures in literature, including Shakespeare and Molière.
