“Metrobius the Impersonator of Women”

The associates of Sulla, from Plutarch:

“He kept company with actresses, musicians, and dancers, drinking with them on couches night and day.  His chief favorites were Roscius the Player, Sorex the Arch Mime, and Metrobius the Impersonator of Women, for whom, though past his prime, he continued to be passionately fond up to the last, and made no denial of it.”

How can you not love this stuff?  “Roscius the Player, Sorex the Arch Mime, and Metrobius the Impersonator of Women.”  Fabulous.
