all I find out about Titus Andronicus when I use the search engine is the play by William Shakespeare and my teacher said he was an actual person but I think she's wrong can someone tell me if he's an actual person and if so what year was he around? Thank you

Titus Andronicus is a fictional character.
Shakespeare draws on several historical characters to construct Andronicus. He also uses real incidents from different eras of Roman history in construcing his play which leads some people to think the character is an historical one.
Often people confuse Titus Andronicus with Titus Flavius, who was a real person.
