	Caecilius Statius
		CAECILIUS STATIUS, or STATIUS CAECILIUS, Roman comic poet, contemporary and intimate friend of Ennius, died in 168 (or 166) B.C. He was born in the territory of the Insubrian Gauls, and was probably taken as a prisoner to Rome (c.
		If the statement in the life of Terence by Suetonius is correct and the reading sound, Caecilius' judgment was so esteemed that he was ordered to hear Terence's Andria (exhibited 166 B.C.) read and to pronounce an opinion upon it.
		Caecilius holds a place between Plautus and Terence in his treatment of the Greek originals; he did not, like Plautus, confound things Greek and Roman, nor, like Terence, eliminate everything that could not be romanized.

		By a curious twist of fate, Caecilius' secret archive became the most important set of documents to be unearthed from the ruins of Pompeii, offering us tantalizing glimpses of the day-to-day business dealings of a first-century auctioneer.
		But as remarkable as they are, Caecilius' records by no means are the only repositories of the everyday that speak to us of the concerns of life in first-century Pompeii.
		From the proverbs, quotations, and graffiti scratched into stone or painted on the facades of houses, a cacophony of empassioned voices resounded all around the early excavators of the buried city.

		He reminded Caecilius that Christians would not even see men justly put to death, or assist at public executions, and that they refrained from eating blood--which is far from the calumny that they feed on the flesh of children.

	414 Roman Comedy II (Terence), Classical Drama and Theatre
		Following Plautus' death in the mid-180's BCE, the pre-eminent playwright of Roman Comedy was Caecilius Statius.
		Though much admired in his day and long after, Caecilius is not represented today by any complete work.
		This does not mean, of course, that Caecilius Statius wrote in Greek; rather, it suggests that he inclined away from the Romanizing tendencies of his immediate predecessors Naevius and Plautus whose plays almost invariably have Latin titles, often not even translations of the original Greek title.
