Roman Comedy XIX: Plautus’s Poenulus, or But I Thought Carthage and Rome Were Mortal Enemies

What language is that?

Discussion Prompts
  1. Why do you think Plautus didn’t change Hanno’s nationality?
  2. How does Adelphasium really feel about Agorastocles?
  3. Does Lycus deserve what he gets?
  4. What do you think will happen to Anthemonides?
  5. The usual directing questions: Concept, setting, dream cast, etc.

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
