Hey,

Pot of Gold :Like all of Plautus’ plays, The Pot of Gold too is set in Athens. Yet, the themes and issues he highlights are Roman. His comedies are a reflection of the society of his time. The characters he describes help the modern researcher to build an idea of the manner in which society functioned in Plautus’ time. The Pot of Gold gives us an insight into Roman life at that time—especially the position of the women and slaves.

Plautus' the pot of gold revolves around the theme of greed, cheapness, the narrowness of people's mind and how it can be Manipulated by a small amount of wealth. As the play progresses the author makes fun of people's characteristics and their mindset. It is a Greek play which is adapted in Latin. Like all classical drama the play is written in verse and it is a satire bringing out the anxiety that greed, avarice and miserliness produces.
