From the Publisher: Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) is one of the great figures of antiquity whose life and words still speak to us today, nearly two thousand years after his death. His Meditations remains one of the most widely read books from the classical world, and his life represents the fulfillment of Plato's famous dictum that mankind will prosper only when philosophers are rulers. Frank McLnn's Marcus Aurelius, based on all available original sources, is the definitive and most vivid biography to date of this monumental historical figure.;Illustrations -- Preface -- Introduction -- Map: Roman empire during the lifetime of Marcus Aurelius -- Marcus Aurelius -- Map: Eastern provinces and Parthia -- Map: Roman empire's Northern frontiers -- Appendix 1: Stoicism -- Appendix 2: Reign of Antoninus Pius -- Appendix 3: Solitude -- Bibliography -- Notes -- Index.
