- Summary:
- 'Rudens' is based upon the recovery by a fisherman, called Gripus, of a vidulus, or wicker basket used as a packing case, which has been lost at sea and which contains among other articles the crepundia or 'tokens' of the heroine Palaestra, who has fallen into the hands of a slave-dealer, Labrax. Labrax is attempting to carry her off by sea to Sicily; but the ship is wrecked upon the African coast, in the neighbourhood of Cyrene. Those on board escape drowning, but their property goes to the bottom.
