Curculio, also called The Weevil, is a Latin comedic play for the early Roman theatre by Titus Maccius Plautus.
The date of the play is not known, but de Melo suggests it may come from the middle period of Plautus's career (c. 205–184 BC), from the moderate amount of musical passages it contains.
Phaedromus sends Curculio (a stock parasite character) to Caria to borrow money from a friend.
Wearing a disguise, Curculio takes it to the soldier's banker Lyco, tricking him into thinking he was sent by Therapontigonus.
Another short passage of iambic septenarii (125–7) is used when Leaena pours a libation of wine to the goddess Venus.
