Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus is a philosophic work by emperor and stoic thinker Marcus Aurelius. It serves as an illuminative source for guidance and self-improvement.
The Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy.
M. Antoninus was born at Rome, A.D. 121, on the 26th of April. His father, Annius Verus, died while he was praetor. His mother was Domitia Calvilla, also named Lucilla. The Emperor T. Antoninus Pius married Annia Galeria Faustina, the sister of Annius Verus, and was consequently the uncle of M. Antoninus.
The Thoughts of The Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek[1] as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement.[2] It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the second book was written at Carnuntum. Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama.
This extensive work is a biographical look at one of the most famous Roman emperors, Marcus Aurelius. Often known as the Philosopher Emperor, his accession to the crown was fraught with war and border-holding. Aurelius' life is recounted in great detail in this volume.
