Curculio, along with a little novel plot showing conventional topics, contains certain scenic resources which are characterized by a great comic strength. In this opportunity we will pay our attention on one of them, the monologue of the corego through the forum romanum and its relationship with the memory. The route of the corego is much more than a display of metatheatrical techniques, because Plautus uses this scene to parody one of the officia oratoris, the docere the mnemonic techniques which reinforce the system of artificial memory.
