		Here lies one of the arguments for Coarelli's hypothesis that the L. Apuleius Marcellus who (as is shown by stamps on lead waterpipes) owned the adjacent Domus di Apuleio (II,VIII,5) was the famous author Apuleius of Madauros.

		When he had censured Asinius, Caelius, and Calvus, I expected that he would show us a host of others, and name more, or at least as many who might be pitted man by man against Cicero, Cæsar, and the rest.
