1. 1. Marco Aurelio

   A Biography

   

   A scholarly yet accessible biography that traces the life, career and character of the Roman emperor who combined Stoic philosophy with imperial duty, recounting his upbringing, intellectual development, military campaigns on the Danube, co-rule with Lucius Verus, and the political and personal challenges of his reign — including the impact of the Antonine plague and the fraught succession of his son. Drawing on ancient sources and epigraphic evidence, it assesses his philosophical writings, leadership style, and legacy, situating him within the social and political context of the second-century Roman Empire.
