Antoninus Marcus Aurelius Boeken
Deze wijze Romeinse keizer, vaak "de Wijze" genoemd, was de laatste van de "Vijf Goede Keizers". Zijn twee decennia aan de macht werden gekenmerkt door bijna constante oorlogen en interne conflicten, maar hij produceerde toch een belangrijk werk van de stoïcijnse filosofie. Zijn geschriften, opgesteld tijdens militaire campagnes, worden nog steeds vereerd als een literair monument voor overheidsdienst en plicht. Ze worden geprezen om hun exquisite accent en oneindige tederheid, en resoneren nog eeuwen later bij lezers.
