'Ineptiae' da commedia: tra Plauto e Terenzio

Abstract

In de oratore cicero affirms that whoever acts inadequately to the times, to the places and to the people behaves like an ineptus. in the comic plots there is a special link between love and ineptia, stressed primarily by the sweetheart’s inability to control his behaviour and especially his words. this survey focuses in particular on the Plautus’ Mercator and on the terence’s Eunuchus.
