I was reading the work by Salvian of Marseille, called "On the government of God "and he does comment rather aggressively on how the Romans are obsessed with theater shows, and do not give a hoot about church or god.
This is fifth century literature, but then again, I do imagine that the theater that he's talking about is largely pantomimes and some dancing women, it really puzzles me if the work of Terence and Plautus, where appreciated in the late empire.
I mean, I definitely know that Vergil and Horace were appreciated, but did the wacky comedies of Terence and Plautus continue to make folks laugh?
