Pseudolus is a Latin comedy by Plautus, originally produced in 191 BC. The title character is a slave whose master's son is in love with a girl who is to be sold to a Macedonian soldier.
The play was probably based on an unknown Greek model, and its characters feature many stock types from the New Comedy.
