Pseudolus: or, The Cheat

Pseudolus, a comedy by Roman playwright Titus Maccius Plautus, is one of the surviving works from the 3rd century BCE. The play revolves around Pseudolus, a clever servant who devises a scheme to help his young master, Calidorus, win the love of Phoenicium. Notably, this work served as a source for the musical 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' and has influenced many subsequent playwrights, including Molière. Plautus's sharp wit and comedic timing make this play a significant piece in the history of Roman theater.
