Coriolanus appeared in William Shakespeare's First Folio. The full text of the play is available http://classics.mit.edu/Shakespeare/coriolanus/

This tragedy revolves around Caius Martius Coriolanus, a brillant Roman general who ultimately is banished from Rome and leads an assault on that same city. Only the pleadings of his mother stop him from sacking Rome.

This is one of Shakespeare's later plays, appearing about 1607.
