Pseudolus is a play by the ancient Roman playwright Titus Maccius Plautus. It is one of the earliest examples of Roman literature and is a key example of the Fabulae Palliatae which are early Roman Comedies set in a Classical Greek setting. Pseudolus was first shown in 191 BC during the Megalesian Festival, which was a celebration for the Phrygian Goddess Cybele. The temple for worship of Cybele in Rome was completed during the same year in time for the festival.— Wikipedia
