I am the square of 1514,
This is a magic square (more specifically, Dürer's magic square).
but actually, I'm just the square of 4.
Such a magic square consists of $4 \times 4$ elements.
I possess a property,
where women could be burned for in my time
Women who were accused of magic were burned during these ages.

$\begingroup$ I'm guessing 1514 refers to the year of discovery/publication? Would be nice to include this in the answer for completeness $\endgroup$– IanF1Feb 26, 2016 at 6:07
