Pozn.: Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote his famous Meditations during his grueling campaigns against the warmongering barbarians (A.D. 121-180). Adopted by his grandfather when his well-born parents died young, Aurelius led a privileged youth that included an education by several personal tutors, one of whom happened to be his uncle, Emperor Aurelius Antoninus. In 161, upon the death of Antoninus, Marcus and his cousin Lucius Verus became joint-Emperors of the Roman Empire. When death took Verus in 167, Marcus became sole Emperor, a position he held for 13 years.
Marcus Aurelius was a contemplative and good man whose sense of duty and honor set an example for the ages that have followed. His Meditations reveal a mind possessing great stature and natural humility, and many valuable lessons can be learned from his good writing. (anotace)
