Lucius Apuleius Platonicus (c. AD 123/125-c. AD 180), an utterly Romanized Berber, is remembered most for his bawdy picaresque Latin novel the Metamorphoses, otherwise known as The Golden Ass or, in Latin, the Aureus Asinus (where the Latin word aureus - golden - connoted an element of blessed luckiness).
