Etymology

From Latin .

Noun

tabernariae pl (plural only)

  1. (historical) Ancient Roman comedies dealing with the life of the lower classes.
    • 1900, Wilhelm Sigmund Teuffel, Ludwig von Schwabe, Teuffel's History of Roman Literature, volume 1, page 167:
      All his plays bear Latin titles and their plots prove them to have been tabernariae. The fragments show a broad and popular tone, a bold, lively and fresh manner reminding one of Plautus, []
    • 2022, William Smith, A Smaller Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities:
      These Atellane plays were not praetextatae, i.e. comedies in which magistrates and persons of rank were introduced, nor tabernariae, the characters in which were taken from low life; they rather seem to have been a union of high comedy and its parody.
