Author
Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) was the Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, and was the last of what are considered The Five Good Emperors of Rome. Notable achievements during his reign include defeating a Parthian Empire, winning the fight against the Samaritans' in the Macromannic Wars, and chronicling his views on stoic philosophy in personal journals now referred to as Meditations.
