He is featured in the short story "Death Wears a Mask" by Steven Saylor.64.53.191.77 (talk) 13:01, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed

The sources currently used in the article look highly suspect to me: an 1873 article in The Galaxy? The 1903 History of Theatrical Art in Ancient and Modern Times? This whole article looks like it might need rewriting from modern sources. Most of the article is discussing Roscius' history as a slave, but the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, the best of the cited sources, doesn't mention that at all, and Brill's New Pauly says that he was freeborn! As for his being sued by Gaius Fannius Chaerea, DGRBM dates it to 68, not 76, and Brill's New Pauly says the date is uncertain. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 14:56, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
