	Clodius Aesopus
		Clodius Aesopus, the Roman tragedian, flourished during the time of Cicero, but the dates of his birth and death are not known.
		Plutarch (Cicero, 5) mentions it as reported of Aesopus, that, while representing Atreus deliberating how he should revenge himself on Thyestes, the actor forgot himself so far in the heat of action that with his truncheon he struck and killed one of the servants crossing the stage.
		Aesopus made a last appearance in 55 BC--when Cicero tells us that he was advanced in years--on the occasion of the games given by Pompey at the dedication of his theatre.

		Aesopus took great pains to perfect himself in his art by various methods.
		He diligently studied the exhibition of character in real life ; and when any important trial was going on, especially, for example, when Hortensius was to plead, he was constantly in attendance, that he might watch and be able to represent the more truthfully the feelings which were actually displayed on such occasions.
		From the whole passage in Cicero and from the anecdotes recorded of him, his acting would seem to have been characterised chiefly by strong emphasis and vehemence.

	Roscius Gallus, Quintus
		Lutatius Catulus composed a quatrain in his honour, and the dictator Sulla presented him with a gold ring, the badge of the equestrian order, a remarkable distinction for an actor in Rome, where the profession was held in contempt.
		Like his contemporary Aesopus, Roscius amassed a large fortune, and he appears to have retired from the stage some time before his death.
		In 76 B.C. he was sued by C. Fannius Chaerea for 50,000 sesterces, and was defended by Cicero in a famous speech.
