  Terence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Publius Terentius Afer, better known as Terence, was a comic playwright of the Roman Republic.
He was born in Carthage, but he was not Carthaginian as his name states; the Romans used the ethnonym Afer to refer to people born in Africa, but they exclusively used Punicus for the Carthaginians
Terence was a son of a rich family of Carthage that went bankrupt and was sold to Terentius, a Roman senator, who educated him and later on, impressed by Terence's abilities, freed him.
