«Menaechmus I ... emerges from his house wearing, under his male cloak (pallium), a woman’s mantle (palla) that he has stolen from his wife ... Revealing the palla, Menaechmus then inquires whether he bears any resemblance to the paintings ... 'What's that fancy getup you've got on?' Peniculus queries. 'Tell me I’m the most charming of men,' demands Menaechmus.»
