Publisher's Summary
Marcus Aurelius was an outstanding person and Emperor of Ancient Rome. He was far more concerned with ways of thinking than with warfare. Being a small boy he applied himself to task with education. Marcus preferred others over himself, putting his own welfare aside for the good of other people.
His nature is obvious in his kindness and consideration for others; but his sharp intelligence is also evident in his writing and in his excellence in jurisprudence. People called him a Great Emperor and a Philosopher King.
Inside you will listen about:
- The Young Marcus
- Training in Oratory
- Antoninus's reign
- Antoninus's death
- Philosopher turned Emperor
- Marcus and Lucius's reign
- The Slumbering Tiber
- The War with the Parthians
