Description
Discover the life and philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor who ruled with wisdom and integrity.
This biography explores the emperor's psychological journey, examining his relationships, Stoic tutors, and the challenges he faced as a leader at the height of Roman power. Through a close analysis of Marcus's own writings, including his Meditations and correspondence, the book sheds light on the mind of the emperor, revealing his character, values, and motives.
From his attitudes towards slavery and women, to his response to the threat of civil war and the treatment of Christians under his rule, Robertson skillfully weaves together Marcus's inner journey as a philosopher with the outer events of his life as a Roman emperor.
