Nocturnum is neither an epithet of the god Bacchus, nor of the planet Saturn, nor of any other god of the night, in the Plautine passage we are dealing with; it is simply the epithet of Iubar (= Lucifer). The presence of Vesperugo in the same context does not exclude this reference; both Nocturnus and Vesperugo have the same referent, the planet Venus; but, owing to their different reference and connotation, they are clearly seen as separate by the popular mind mirrored in the comedy.
