Mostellaria By Plautus
Mostellaria is a Roman comedy by Plautus. Although there is uncertainty about the date of performance and its Greek original, it has been suggested that the play was staged after 193 B.C. And may be based on the non-extant New Comedy Phasma (Ghost) by Philemon. Mostellaria is a typical Roman comedy in many ways.
