Aulularia; or, The Concealed Treasure

"Aulularia; or, The Concealed Treasure" is a comedic play written by Titus Maccius Plautus. It revolves around Euclio, an old man from Athens who is extremely stingy. One day, he stumbles upon a pot of gold hidden in his house. Fearing that someone might steal it, he becomes increasingly paranoid and continuously moves the treasure to different hiding spots. The play's original ending is lost, but a supplement written by Antonius Codrus Urceus offers a resolution. This play offers a humorous exploration of greed, paranoia, and the lengths one will go to protect their wealth."
