Lucius Apuleius Platonicus (c. 123/125 – c. 180) was a Latin prose writer remembered most for his bawdy picaresque novel, the Metamorphoses, otherwise known as The Golden Ass (Asinus Aureus). Apuleius was a Romanized Berber[1] who described himself as "half-Numidian half-Gaetulian."[citation needed]
