About the author

Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254 – 184 BC), commonly known as Plautus, was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest works in Latin literature to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by the innovator of Latin literature, Livius Andronicus. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his.

I liked this book, even if I’ve found it difficult to be understand in some parts. I found really interesting the relationship between Tranione and Filolachete, and Tranione’s cleverness in solving the problems🏛👥💰

Really funny if you open your mind to it. Try to find an edition that has curse words. It's a hidden gem.
