The character,Tranio, a slave in Rome owned by Theopropides is comparing himself admiringly to Alexander and Agathocles.We don't know if the playwright Titus Maccius Plautus coined the title but we can safely assume that his audience would recognize who 'Alexandrum magnum' was, an indication that the epithet predated Plautus' play and suggests that the Romans began styling Alexander as 'the great' fairly soon after his death.
