About this title

Synopsis

Emperor of Rome from 161 to 180 A.D., Marcus Aurelius has long been remembered for his philosophic wisdom and the golden age attributed to his gentle rule. Both a historical document and a spiritual diary, The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius provides insight into the mind of this great ruler, revealing him to be clear-headed and serious, yet also disillusioned with his own status and with human activities in general. This up-to-date edition also includes translations of the letters between Marcus and Fronto.
