Fabula palliata or Palliata (plural Fabulae palliatae or palliatae)[1] are names assigned by the Romans to a genre of comedy (Comoedia palliata) that reworked in Latin the themes of Greek New Comedy.[2] The genre began with the comedies of Livius Andronicus, who also initiated Roman literature and Roman drama. The name comes from pallium, a small cape traditionally worn by the actors who performed in his plays, in imitation of the himation worn by Greek actors; that is, the Romans were identifying the genre as imitations of Greek comedy.[3]
