Apuleius, Apologia 101.4-5, 158/9 C.E.
You have said that I bought a very attractive estate in my own name with a large amount of my wife’s money. I say that it was a trifling little property worth 60,000 sesterces, and that it was not I, but Pudentilla who bought it in her own name, that Pudentilla’s name is in the records, and that the tax for this little property was paid in Pudentilla’s name.
The public treasurer to whom it was paid out, the excellent Corvinius Celer, is present (in the court); and indeed my wife’s guardian (tutor auctor) is here, a most important and venerable man, to be named by me with all honor — Cassius Longinus. Ask him, Maximus,25 whose purchase he authorized, and for what tiny little price a wealthy woman bought her own little property.
