Abstract
The following essay appraises two lives from an historian’s perspective. The awareness by the one man, Augustine, of the other, Apuleius, necessarily through the latter’s repute and writings, reflects significant lived experiences shared by both. This familiarity, we suggest, shaped important ways in which Augustine configured his own life story and thinking. Most of the linkages attested in the evidence—ones of place, experience, and thought—were African in nature. These commonalities suggest the substantial impact of a local African cultural world, which, no matter how much formed by external ideas and concepts, was a lived-in medium that formed the perception and presentation of their lives.
