Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was a Roman emperor from 161 to 180. He was also a Stoic philosopher. During his reign, the Roman Empire encountered military conflicts with various nations, including the Parthian Empire, Kingdom of Armenia, Marcomanni, Quadi, and Sarmatian Iazyges. Marcus addressed economic issues by reducing the silver purity of Roman currency and faced the challenge of the Antonine Plague, which had a devastating impact on the population. He is well-regarded for his philosophical work “Meditations,” which provides valuable insights into ancient Stoic philosophy.
