Terence's plays were more refined than ​Plautus’, which led him to be slightly less popular at the time. There was also a fair share of controversy during Terence’s lifetime, as he was accused of contaminating the borrowed Greek material that he utilized in his plays. He was also accused of having had assistance in the creation of his plays. From The Encyclopedia Britannica:

In a prologue to one of his plays, Terence] meets the charge of receiving assistance in the composition of his plays by claiming as a great honour the favour which he enjoyed with those who were the favorites of the Roman people. But the gossip, not discouraged by Terence, lived and throve; it crops up in Cicero and Quintilian, and the ascription of the plays to Scipio had the honour to be accepted by Montaigne and rejected by Diderot.
