Getting Bronze in the Sun: Making Sense of the Remains of Plautus' Vidularia.
In this note I reexamine one of the few extant scenes of Plautus' Vidularia , the encounter between Dinia and his long-lost son Nicodemus. After examining the dense comic texture of the scene, I focus, in particular, on one joke which, deeply embedded in Roman cultural history, has been consistently...
