Head of Marcus Aurelius. Reproduction of a sculpture of Marcus Aurelius, 2th century BC, the original of which is in the Ephesus Museum on the Aegean coast. Turkey.

The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius ( 121 A. D., -180 A. D.) is known as one of the “five good emperors”. Bequeathed us a masterpiece of philosophical reflections on one’s own knowledge and good governance: the “meditations” written directly in campaign.

Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher-emperor, ruled the Roman Empire alongside co-emperor Lucius Verus from 161 to 180 AD. His legacy transcends his role as an emperor, as he is also remembered as one of the most notable Stoic philosophers. His best-known work, “Meditations,” is a journal in which he reflects on his thoughts, focusing on the constant pursuit of virtue and wisdom and their practical application in everyday life.

Marcus Aurelius faced numerous significant challenges during his reign, including military conflicts, epidemics, and internal crises. Amidst the difficulties, he was able to maintain the stability of the empire, despite threats both external and internal. Thanks to Stoic philosophy, he could endure the pressures of governance, following the tenets of Stoicism that urge one to accept adversities with serenity and cultivate virtues such as generosity, justice, self-discipline, and moderation.

“In your actions, do not delay. In your conversations, do not confuse. In your thoughts, do not become unfocused. In your soul, do not be passive, nor aggressive. And let your life not be just about business.” (Marcus Aurelius)

“Our life is what our thoughts create.” (Marcus Aurelius)
