Production notes: 
We do not know when this play was produced. Caecilius Statius perhaps began producing plays c. 190 BC, see Gratwick in The Cambridge History of Classical Literature, Vol. 2: Latin Literature (E.J. Kenney ed., Cambridge, 1982), p. 115. He died c. 168 BC. The date range for performance is therefore based on these two dates. It is assumed that the plays were performed in Rome. This play was a fabula palliata (comedy in Greek dress).
