Comedy and the Rise of Rome invites the reader to consider Roman
comedy in the light of history and Roman history in the light of
comedy. Plautus and Terence base their dramas on the New Comedy of
fourth- and third-century BC Greece. Yet many of the themes with
which they engage are peculiarly alive in the Rome of the
Hannibalic war, and the conquest of Macedon. This study takes
issues as diverse as the legal status of the prisoner of war, the
ethics of ambush, fatherhood and command, and the clash of maritime
and agrarian economies, and examines responses to them both on the
comic stage and in the world at large. This is a substantially new
departure in ways of thinking about Roman comedy and one that opens
it up to a far wider public than has previously been the case.
