Description

Marcus Aurelius was one of the most well-documented individuals from antiquity. His portrait appeared on imperial coinage for over 40 years, and his writings provide a unique insight into his character and thoughts.

Through his correspondence with Fronto and his private notebook, the Meditations, we gain a vivid understanding of an emperor who was both human and just. This accessible study by Professor Birley offers a nuanced portrait of Marcus Aurelius, shedding light on the pagan virtues that defined Roman society during this period.
