Apuleyo
Apuleyo (Madaura, 123/5-m. en torno a 180), a veces llamado Lucio Apuleyo —si bien el praenomen Lucio se toma del protagonista de una de sus obras, El asno de oro—, fue el escritor romano más importante del siglo II, muy admirado tanto en vida como por la posteridad. Posiblemente un bereber muy romanizado, nació en Madaura, ciudad romana de Numidia en la frontera con Getulia, en la actualidad conocida como M'Daourouch (en Argelia). En su tiempo fue una zona relativamente alejada de los principales centros culturales de la latinidad, radicados en Italia, aunque su desarrollo urbano y económico permitieron que, hacia el siglo II, importantes intelectuales y políticos romanos procedieran de la zona.
