Description
Verissimus is a graphic novel that explores the life and Stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, the last famous Stoic of antiquity and the most powerful man in the known world. After losing his father at an early age, Aurelius dedicated himself to the study of philosophy, which became the key to saving his empire from constant warfare and a devastating plague.
Through a close study of historical evidence, Donald J. Robertson brings Aurelius' remarkable story to life in a sweeping historical epic. The graphic novel features stunning full-color artwork by award-winning illustrator Zé Nuno Fraga, making it a compelling and visually engaging read.
With its unique blend of history, philosophy, and art, Verissimus offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most fascinating figures. This graphic novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, ancient Rome, or the Stoic tradition.
