Euclio, a poor man, finds a pot full of gold and becomes obsessed with hiding it, distrusting everyone.

From then on, mix-ups and misunderstandings follow in this classic comedy about greed and paranoia.
This comedy, also known as «Aulularia», is part of the Greek and Latin Classics collection and is one of Plautus's most widely known plays.
Aimed at readers of classical theater and literature students, interested in Roman comedy and its influences.
Titus Maccius Plautus was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by Livius Andronicus, the innovator of Latin literature. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his. He influenced some of the greatest figures in literature, including Shakespeare and Molière.
