Description

Explore the life of one of antiquity's most well-documented leaders with this biography of Marcus Aurelius. As the philosopher-emperor who ruled the Roman Empire from AD 161 to 180, his presence was felt throughout his reign. This work examines his transformation from the clean-shaven young heir of Antonius to the war-weary, heavily bearded ruler who served until his death in his late fifties. This biography utilizes rare historical records to bring the emperor to life. Readers gain access to his personal correspondence with his tutor Fronto and his private notebook, the Meditations. These writings offer rare glimpses into his character and his internal thoughts during his final ten years of rule. Whether you are interested in Roman history or the personal life of a philosopher-king, this Routledge publication provides a detailed look at a man whose portrait appeared on imperial coinage for over four decades. It is an essential read for those studying the Roman Empire and the intersection of leadership and philosophy.
