Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Born to an upper-class Roman family in A.D. 121, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was adopted by the future emperor Antoninus Pius and succeeded him in 161. His reign saw a successful campaign against Parthia, but was later overshadowed by plague, an abortive revolt in the eastern provinces, and the deaths of friends and family, including his co-emperor Lucius Verus.
A dedicated student of philosophy from his youth, Marcus Aurelius was particularly influenced by the Stoic thinker Epictetus. His enduring legacy rests on his Meditations, a collection of personal reflections written during his later years and never intended for formal publication. He died in 180 while campaigning against barbarian tribes on Rome’s northern frontier.
