Apuleius was a 2nd-century Roman writer whose most famous work, The Golden Ass (also known as Metamorphoses), still feels vivid, and surprisingly modern.
It is the only ancient Roman novel in Latin to survive complete.
Inside the novel is also the famous tale of Cupid and Psyche, one of the most beautiful love stories to come down from antiquity.
The Golden Ass is one of the best gateways into the ancient world.

The forum and #Byzantine fort in #Madauros in #Algeria. It had been made a #Roman colony for veterans in the first century during the reign of the Emperor Nerva.
The town was the birthplace in 124AD of the Numidian #Apuleius who wrote the only #Latin Roman novel, "The Golden Ass" or "Metamorphoses", to survive fully intact. He also coined the proverb "familiarity breeds contempt."
Saint #Augustine of Hippo studied there in the 4th century. -

Another #book to come back to again & again. Magical and quite a lot silly. Like a mad cousin to #ovid & the #metamorphoses / Surprised more people haven’t considered this as an ancient part of the #surrealism canon since it feels like #Apuleius would fit. If at least some of this isn’t pure psychic automatism then I’m not sure what is. #TheGoldenAss #bookstodon
