Tite <French> / Titus (1660) is a play by Jean Magnon.
Abstract
In this five-act play, Berenice, who had been forced to leave Rome during Vespasian's lifetime, returned in disguise, pretending to be Cleobule, an obscure young prince of Iberia, whom Titus made his companion and confidant. Having Titus refused to marry the Roman girl chosen for him by his mother, the jilted girl incited the Romans to rebel. While Titus remained helpless in his palace, Cleobule bravely went out to the mob, and revealed himself as Berenice. In the face of so much courage and loyalty the mob was won over and authorized her marriage to Titus.
