His ethical, religious, and existential reflections have endured as an expression of Stoicism, a text for students of that philosophy, and a guide to the moral life.$bMarcus Aurelius (121-180 CE), Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, born at Rome, received training under his guardian and uncle emperor Antoninus Pius (reigned 138-161), who adopted him. He was converted to Stoicism and henceforward studied and practised philosophy and law. A gentle man, he lived in agreement and collaboration with Antoninus Pius. He married Pius's daughter and succeeded him as emperor in March 161, sharing some of the burdens with Lucius Verus. Marcus's reign soon saw fearful national disasters from flood, earthquakes, epidemics, threatened revolt (in Britain), a Parthian war, and pressure of barbarians north of the Alps. From 169 onwards he had to struggle hard against the German Quadi, Marcomani, Vandals, and others until success came in 174. In 175 (when Faustina died) he pacified affairs in Asia after a revolt by Avidius. War with Germans was renewed during which he caught some disease and died by the Danube in March 180. The famous Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (not his title; he simply calls them "The matters addressed to himself") represents reflections written in periods of solitude during the emperor's military campaigns. Originally intended for his private guidance and self-admonition, the Meditations has endured as a potent expression of Stoic belief. It is a central text for students of Stoicism as well as a unique personal guide to the moral life. 606 $aEthics$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aEthics 606 $aLife$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aLife 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 606 $aStoics$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aAuthors, Latin$3(OCoLC)822194$2fast 606 $aConduct of life$3(OCoLC)874563$2fast 606 $aEthics$3(OCoLC)915833$2fast 606 $aLife$3(OCoLC)1198505$2fast 606 $aPhilosophy$3(OCoLC)1060777$2fast 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient$3(OCoLC)1060860$2fast 606 $aStoics$3(OCoLC)1133750$2fast 615 0$aEthics 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aLife 615 0$aLife. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 615 0$aStoics 615 7$aAuthors, Latin 615 7$aConduct of life 615 7$aEthics 615 7$aLife 615 7$aPhilosophy 615 7$aPhilosophy, Ancient 615 7$aStoics 700 $aMarcus Aurelius$cEmperor of Rome,$f121-180,$0203063 702 $aHaines$b Charles Reginald 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996199058403316 996 $aMarcus Aurelius$984406 997 $aUNISA
