A fabula togata is a Latin comedy in a Roman setting, in existence since at least the second century BC.
Lucius Afranius and Titus Quinctius Atta are known to have written fabulae togatae.
The fabula togata was distinguished from the palliata primarily by its use of Roman or Italian characters, transferring the comic situations of the bourgeois palliata to the lower-class citizens of the country towns of Italy.
[2] The palliata was based on originals of Greek New Comedy, tragedies from Attic sources as well as the grand dramatization of Rome's past.
[citation needed] There is no existing complete fabula togata but there are surviving fragments that indicate aspects of the creative practice.
