"Plautine" refers to the works of Plautus, a playwright of ancient Rome. He was believed to be born around 250 B.C.

According to C. W. Marshall in his book, 'The Stagecraft and Performance of Roman Comedy', "Plautus' pimps stand out as individuals, while still partaking of the stock type that revels in the excesses of cruelty, avarice and power."
