THE GOLDEN ASS: A REFLECTION OF ROMAN SOCIETY.

Abstract

This work intends to make an analysis of the different sectors of Roman society in the high imperial period that are represented in the Metamorphoses of Apuleyo. Thus, the main objective is to try to understand how a Roman was acting at this moment, as well as to establish an image of the relationships that were given between different social groups. Thus, it is intended to highlight those individuals belonging to the most distant groups of power, such as women, outlaws or slaves. In addition, the question of popular beliefs and their manifestation in society will be addressed.
