    Description

    by William O. Stephens (Author)

    The moving life and legacy of Rome's great emperor philosopher.

    This book guides us through the fascinating life and writings of Marcus Aurelius, Stoic philosopher and Roman emperor. Philosopher William O. Stephens explores Marcus's reluctant rise to power, his marriage, and his efforts to mold his son into a just successor. He examines Marcus's Stoic tenets as he describes the struggles of dealing with a fifteen-year pandemic, the betrayal of a trusted general, social upheaval centered on a new "superstition" (Christianity), and how Marcus's determination to stabilize the empire's borders resulted in strife, broken treaties, and protracted wars. This gripping narrative of Marcus' life, times, and thought, as well as his complex legacy will appeal to all those interested in Roman history.
