Mostellaria

Mostellaria is a play by the Roman author Plautus. Its name translates from Latin as "The Ghost (play)" (with the word fabula understood in the title).[1][2] The play is believed to be an adaptation of a lost comedy of the Athenian poet Philemon called Phasma (the Ghost).[1] It is set in a street in the city of Athens.
