<span style="color: #172abf; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 25px; text-align: left;">Rome has a tradition of derivative comedy. [|Plautus] and Terence were the most influential writers of the Romans' [|Fabula Palliata]) comedy. Shakespeare used some of their plots in his comedies. Plautus was even the inspiration for the 20th century's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. There were also Romans (including [|Naevius] and [|Ennius]) who, adapting the Greek tradition, wrote tragedy in Latin. Unfortunately, their tragedies haven't survived. For extant Roman tragedy we can read [|Seneca]; however, Seneca may have intended his plays for readings rather than performances in the theater.
