Other writers of distinguishedreputation in the dramatic department were Naevius, Pacuvius, Plautus, Afranius, Caecilius, Terence, Accius, etc. Accius and Pacuvius arementioned by Quintilian as writers of extraordinary merit. Oftwenty-five comedies written by Plautus, the number transmitted toposterity is nineteen; and of a hundred and eight which Terence is said tohave translated from Menander, there now remain only six. Excepting a fewinconsiderable fragments, the writings of all the other au...thors haveperished. The early period of Roman literature was distinguished for theintroduction of satire by Lucilius, an author celebrated for writing withremarkable ease, but whose compositions, in the opinion of Horace, thoughQuintilian thinks otherwise, were debased with a mixture of feculency. Whatever may have been their merit, they also have perished, with theworks of a number of orators, who adorned the advancing state of lettersin the Roman Republic. It is observable, that during this whole period, of near two centuries and a half, there appeared not one historian ofeminence sufficient to preserve his name from oblivion.
