Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plautus is known for reviving and adapting the old Hellenistic New Comedy plots to Roman culture and language, providing a fresh take on familiar stories. While he did introduce new character types, such as the cunning slave, he did not drastically depart from the old character archetypes seen in Greek and Hellenistic comedy. There is also no evidence that his plays were specifically focused on political commentary.
