The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121 AD – 180 AD) ruled alongside co-emperor Lucius Verus from 161 to 180 AD. Known as one of the so-called “Five Good Emperors,” his reign marked the end of the period of maximum splendor and political stability of the Roman Empire. He is also remembered as the “philosopher-emperor,” one of the most notable representatives of Stoic philosophy. His most famous work is the “Meditations,” a diary in which he reflected his thoughts following the tenets of Stoicism, such as the pursuit of virtue and wisdom and their practical application in daily life.

Marcus Aurelius faced numerous significant challenges during his reign, including military conflicts, epidemics, and internal crises. Stoic philosophy was an essential support to endure the pressures of governing, practicing the ideas of Stoicism that encourage calmly accepting adversity and cultivating virtues such as generosity, justice, self-discipline, and moderation.

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