The Comedies of Publius Terentius Afer, issued in 1910 by the Limited Editions of the Roman Society, is a distinguished two-volume set that presents the works of one of ancient Rome’s most refined playwrights. Terence, a North African freedman writing in the 2nd century BCE, was known for his elegant Latin and complex plots that explored themes of love, deception, and social roles. These volumes offer English translations alongside the Latin texts, providing a clear view of the playwright’s style and moral insight, which greatly influenced later European drama, particularly during the Renaissance.
