Titus and the Lost Mask: Titus et Persona Amissa

Encounter ancient Roman comedy—entirely in Latin!

Every year, Titus eagerly awaits the festival of Magna Mater, when the Romans celebrate the Great Mother goddess by performing comic plays. This year, Titus wakes up early—he doesn’t want his father and two sisters to leave for the festivities without him! They settle into good seats, hoping to watch a new play by Plautus. But when the actors reveal that they have lost the mask used for the most important character in the play, Titus wonders if the show will go on.

Join Titus as he traverses Rome to find the lost mask in this follow-up to We’re Going to the Show. Along the way, encounter several stock characters from Roman comedy as well as the plots of two of Plautus’s plays: Miles Gloriosus and Pseudolus.
