Quote “More of your conversation would infect my brain.” Synopsis Shakespeare's tragedy Coriolanus is believed to have been written between 1605 and 1608. The play is based on Caius Marcius Coriolanus, a renowned Roman general . The drama begins in Rome shortly after the Tarquin kings were driven from the city. After grain stocks are withheld from ordinary citizens, riots are happening. The Roman general Caius Marcius, whom the rioters hold responsible for the loss of their grain, has particularly infuriated them. Menenius Agrippa, a patrician, and Caius Marcius himself are confronted by the rioters. Marcius is openly contemptuous and claims that the plebeians were unworthy of the grain since they had not served in the military, whilst Menenius makes an effort to quiet the protesters. Brutus and Sicinius, two Roman tribunes, secretly accuse Marcius of wrongdoing. After learning that a Volscian army is in the field, he leaves Rome.
