The comedies of Terence offer an insight into daily life and Roman society at the time. They will have had a significant influence on later European comic literature from the Renaissance. Terence's Comedies held the role for Comedy that Aristotle's Poetics held for other works of fiction. Its patterns of structure and characterization have been studied and adapted by many playwrights and authors, helping to shape the theatrical tradition.
