Prompt
Create an image of a 2nd-century Roman philosopher and writer, Apuleius, sitting in a contemplative pose amidst ancient scrolls and tomes, with a backdrop of a Mediterranean landscape, possibly inspired by the North African region where he was born in Madaurus, reflecting his connection to Platonism, and his notable works such as 'The Golden Ass', in a realistic yet classical art style reminiscent of ancient Roman portraiture.
