“CONTAMINATION” Contaminatio has been practiced by Naevius, Plautus and Ennius (An. 15ff) — Terence’s art pleases the elite and he is proud of it (Ad. 15 ff) —Terence uses in his compositions the method of contaminatio, a practice of combining several Greek models into one Roman adaptation. Naevius, Plautus and Ennius did the same (An. 15ff)

Terence’s audience Luscius of Lanuvium accuses Terence of contaminatio and patronage Advocate of fidelity towards Greek sources ‘Language thin and writing slight’ T. Luscius had a comedy with a flying deer
