EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Bard of Rome: Terence, the Eloquent Slave, and the Masked Actors" This evocative image from ancient Rome depicts Publius Terentius Afer, better known as Terence or Terentius, a renowned Roman playwright, surrounded by two masked actors. Terence, born in Carthage around 185 BC, was a slave who gained his freedom and rose to prominence in the literary world of the Roman Republic. He is celebrated for his comedies, which were characterized by their wit, sophistication, and their use of Greek models. The masked actors in the image represent the duality and theatricality inherent in Terence's works. In ancient Roman theater, masks were used to denote different characters and emotions. The comedic masks, such as the "Maschera Comica" or "Comedy Mask," typically featured a smiling, round face with a protruding nose and rosy cheeks, symbolizing happiness and merriment. The tragic masks, on the other hand, were characterized by a frowning, stern expression, representing sorrow and despair. Terence's plays often explored the complexities of human relationships and emotions, and the use of masks in this image underscores the idea that life, like theater, is a performance, with masks we wear to navigate the intricacies of our social interactions. The presence of the masked actors also highlights Terence's role as a playwright, a master of words and emotions, who could elicit laughter and tears from his audience through his writing. This image offers a glimpse into the world of ancient Roman theater and the life of a remarkable figure who, against all odds, left an indelible mark on the literary landscape of his time. Terence's works continue to be celebrated and performed today, a testament to his enduring legacy as a master of words and human emotions.
