A subsequent plot begins when a ring is sent to thetitle character, supposedly from the courtesan Acroteleutium. In this play, the slave Palaestrio iscaptured by pirates while attempting to expose a kidnapping, which separates (*) Philocomasium fromPleusicles. All ends well when the title character is tricked into entering the house of Periplecomenusand then severely beaten by all the other characters. For 10 points, name this Plautus play in which thetitle character, Pyrgopolynices, abducts a woman from Athens, and which gives its name to a stockmilitary character.
