Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a lively translation of the Roman comedy Trinummus (The Three Pieces of Money), written by the renowned playwright Plautus over two thousand years ago. It tells the story of Lesbonicus, a young man whose reckless spending has left him destitute. His father, Charmides, has entrusted his friend Callicles with looking after Lesbonicus and his sister. Callicles has bought Lesbonicus' house to protect it from being sold to pay off his debts, and is secretly using money from a hidden treasure to provide a dowry for his sister, so that she can marry the young man she loves. The play explores themes of financial responsibility, friendship, and the importance of generosity and compassion in supporting our loved ones and community. Plautus's comedy offers insights into the human condition and the timeless themes of money and relationships. This translation captures the wit, energy, and timeless themes that have made Plautus one of the most celebrated playwrights of ancient Rome.
