-<p> A [[Latin]] comic poet, born in Umbria; came when young to Rome, as is evident from his mastery of the Latin language and his knowledge of Greek; began to write plays for the stage at 30, shortly before the outbreak of the second Punic War, and continued to do so for 40 years; he wrote about 130 comedies, but only 20 have survived, the plots mostly borrowed from [[Greek]] models; they were much esteemed by his contemporaries; they have supplied material for dramatic treatment in modern times (227-184 B.C.). </p>
