Titus Maccius Plautus

Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254-184 BC) was a Roman playwright of Ancient Rome. He is one of the earliest and most important authors of Latin literature, known for his comedies. His works, inspired by Greek New Comedy, adapted Greek plots and characters to the Roman context, incorporating elements of daily Roman life and using vibrant, popular language. Of his more than one hundred plays, about twenty have survived to the present day, including "Miles Gloriosus" (The Braggart Soldier), "Pseudolus", and "Amphitruo". His influence was significant in later Western comedy.
