Antoninus Marcus Aurelius

    26 april 0121 – 17 maart 0180

    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.

      Marcus Aurelius (121 180 CE), philosopher-emperor, wrote the Meditations (his title was The matters addressed to himself) in periods of solitude during military campaigns. His ethical, religious, and existential reflections have endured as an expression of Stoicism, a text for students of that philosophy, and a guide to the moral life.
