	Titus Maccius Plautus (254-184 BCE) probably sold his first plays at the ''Ludi'', and his play Stichus was first performed at the Ludi Plebeii. Plautus' puns and slapstick humour were greatly valued by the Romans themselves (if not by the likes of Horace and Augustus) and influenced a much later playwright from the 16th Century: William Shakespeare. The modern and beloved musical, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is inspired by Plautus and contains many of his characters, including Miles Gloriosus, the braggart soldier, Pseudolus, the wily slave, and Senex, the doddering oldster.
