Plautus war eine wegweisende Figur der römischen Komödie, dessen Werke die frühesten vollständig erhaltenen lateinischen Literaturdenkmäler darstellen. Seine Stücke, bekannt als palliata comoedia, zeichnen sich durch Witz und lebendige Dialoge aus, die spätere Dramatiker tiefgreifend beeinflussten. Sein unverwechselbarer Stil und Humor machen ihn zu einem Eckpfeiler des römischen Dramas. Der Begriff 'plautinisch' bezeichnet heute Werke von ihm selbst oder solche, die von seinem einzigartigen dramatischen Erbe inspiriert wurden.
