Here is the rephrased text:
Decimus Laberius, a Roman knight and mimographer, was a witty and crudely satirical contemporary of Cicero and Caesar. He is widely regarded as the most celebrated comic playwright of the late Republic, and the fragments of plays attributed to him constitute the vast majority of the extant evidence for what is commonly known as the literary Roman mime. This comprehensive volume also offers a comprehensive survey of the characteristics and development of the Roman mime, encompassing both its literary genre and its popular theatrical entertainment. Furthermore, it provides a fresh and insightful re-evaluation of Laberius' work within its historical and literary context. This English translation is the first of its kind, presenting all the fragments in their original form, accompanied by a detailed and scholarly commentary that explores them from a linguistic, metrical, and (where applicable) theatrical perspective.
