Collation of Apuleius, Met. IX 14 with Tacitus, Ann. XV 44 strongly suggests that the former is deliberately echoing the latter, thus furnishing evidence that Tacitus was read soon after his death, despite the usual contrary statements. Furthermore, Apulleius can clearly be seen to be alluding to Christians rather than Jews, a disclosure that may settle that perennial dispute amongst Apuleian scholars as to whom the novelist is satirising.
