Description

Rediscover the lost love letters of Marcus Aurelius and Marcus Cornelius Fronto, a Roman emperor and his beloved student, in this groundbreaking collection.

For nearly two centuries, these passionate letters have lain hidden in plain sight, their significance and beauty overlooked by history. Now, Marcus Aurelius in Love brings them back to the public eye, offering a unique glimpse into the history of sexuality and classics.

Written in the 2nd century CE, these letters reveal the intense and all-consuming relationship between Marcus and Fronto, who began their romance when Fronto was selected to instruct Marcus in rhetoric. A translation that reproduces the style of the time, the letters are a remarkable find, shedding new light on the lives of two of ancient Rome's most fascinating figures.
