Description
Meditations is a collection of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD. Written in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement, the work consists of 12 books of quotations varying in length.
These private notes were likely written during periods of military campaigns, with some entries recorded at Sirmium and others while stationed at Aquincum. The writings are believed to have been intended for Marcus Aurelius' personal use only, and their original title is unknown.
The Meditations offer a unique insight into Stoic philosophy and the private thoughts of one of history's most influential leaders.
