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.

Some of these lines made me CACKLE. I don't think an ancient text could possibly have a better end line than, "The pimp has perished."

This is probably the most challenging thing I've read comprehension wise in a bit. That could also be due to the fact that while reading I was also eavesdropping on a first date for the first half and a bible study for the second.

A play-within-a-play.... mind blown

No le voy a poner notas a las obras de plauto que son para clase pero: muy interesante y un par de puntazos de reírme en alto😚👌

The last play for the seminar on Roman comedy I'm taking. It's unusual for not having any main characters that aren't slaves. Toxilus is in love with the slave-prostitute Lemniselenis and would like to buy her freedom, but he doesn't have the money and nobody will lend it to him. But Toxilus's owner is out of town and he's just run into his old friend Sagaristio, and they come up with a scheme to trick Lemniselenis's pimp-owner out of her and the money too.
