Also favouring a later date, Grace Starry West argues, " the Rome of Titus Andronicus is Rome after Brutus, after Caesar, and after Ovid.

Bate speculates that this story, with one character called Titus and another called Andronicus, could be why several contemporary references to the play are in the form Titus & ondronicus.

Any discussion of the sources of Titus Andronicus is complicated by the existence of two other versions of the story ; a prose history and a ballad ( both of which are anonymous and undated ).

The first definite reference to the ballad, Titus Andronicus ' Complaint, is an entry in the Stationers ' Register by the printer John Danter on 6 February 1594, where the entry " A booke intitled a Noble Roman Historye of Tytus Andronicus " is immediately followed by " Entred also vnto finde that none in all that Authors Works ever receiv'd greater Alterations or Additions, the language not only Refin'd, but many Scenes entirely New: Besides most of the principal Characters heighten'd and the Plot much incresas'd.
