Plautus, born around 254 BCE in Sarsina, Italy, was a prominent Roman playwright known for his comedic works that greatly influenced later playwrights, including Shakespeare and Molière. His most famous plays, such as "Miles Gloriosus" and "Pseudolus," showcase witty dialogue and intricate plots often centered around themes of love, mistaken identity, and clever servitude.
