Abstract

Plautus parodies the position of Greek arbitral practice in New Comedy at the end of certain plays and performs an old custom of italic folk justice named flagitatio. In Casina, the playwriter has relation to this kind of justice in the act V, where the concept of flagitium appears as adultery´s synonym. By this mean we can observe the contrast between master and slave, and the rejection because of the senex´s loving adventure.
