DIDASCALIA. διδασκαλίαι. Short notices concerning the bringing out of the plays, resting mostly on the authority of M. Terentius Varro and other grammarians.

Postumius Albinus and L. Cornelius Merula were Curule Aediles. Acted by L. Ambivius Turpio. Flaccus the slave of Claudius composed the music for unequal pipes. The whole from the Greek 'Epidicazomenos' of Apollodorus. It was composed fourth in order in the consulship of C. Fannius and M. Valerius'. ludis Romanis (called also Magni) celebrated in the circus (hence circenses), chiefly consisting of gladiator and other shows; held in September, cf. Liv. xLv. 1, A. D. X Kal.

These magistrates were entrusted with management of public games and theatrical representations; probably having like our Lord Chamberlain the authority to reject any play which they thought unfit for public performance. The decision of such a point they would relegate to some competent critic. Hence when Terence offered his Andria to them they referred him to Caecilius. Suetonius' Life of Terence, § 2. L. Ambiuius Turpio, a very popular actor. He it was, if we may trust Terence's compliment, who helped on the success of Caecilius; and to him as an ambassador Terence entrusted the 2nd prologue when the Hecyra had been hustled off (Hecyra, 2nd prol. q.v.); cf. Cic. Cato Maior § 14 Ut Turpione Ambiuio magis delectatur qui in prima cauea spectat delectatur tamen etiam qui in ultima, &c. |
