Platus plays
I thought that Casina was hysterical. It is probably some childish humor but it was just too good to not laugh. I liked Casina because I felt that it was more straight forward to follow. In the braggart soldier, all of their names started with P's which made it confusing to tell who was who for a while. They were not common American names they were strange Greek names which did help in the slightest. I thought the story of the Braggart soldier was better but I would still give the win to Casina between the two.

Plautus' Roman audience would have known just enough Greek that they could keep the characters apart and, in fact, enjoy what these names mean.
