  • Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (26 April 121 - 2 July 180) was the Caesar of Rome from 161 until his death in 180 CE. Ruling alongside co-emperor Lucius Verus until his death in 169, Marcus was sole emperor for eleven years of his reign. His rule faced the onslaught of a renewed Parthian Kingdom and dangerous invasions by the Germanic tribes along the frontier. Aside from these struggles, Marcus Aurelius' reign is remembered for being a prosperous period of Imperial Rome, earning him classification as the fourth of the historical Princepes Boni. His treatment of his subjects and wise management of the state earned him the reputation from later historians as a philosopher-king. One factor in receiving this title is the memoirs Marcus' son published after his death as Meditations. The text is a series of quotations from Marcus Aurelius, ranging from a line to a paragraph, likely written for himself. It is a testament to the clarity and rationality of his mind. The military achievements of Marcus Aurelius across the Danube are commemorated in a doric column which now sits in the city of Aurelia in Dacia. On his death, Marcus was buried in Hadrian's Mausoleum, relocated to the Valentissima District in 1582. His epitaph, chosen by his son, Sulla out of the Illiad reads, "the wind scatters some on the face of the ground, like unto them are the children of men".
