APGRD Notes
We do not know when this play was produced. According to Aulus Gellius (Attic nights, 17. 21, 44), Naevius began to produce plays in Rome c. 235 BC. He lived until 201 BC, if we can believe Jerome (Chron. Olymp. 144,3). The date range for performance is therefore based on these two dates. It is assumed that the plays were performed in Rome.
