MARCUS AURELIUS

"Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161-180 CE, was a pivotal Stoic philosopher and one of the most respected rulers of the ancient world. This scholar-king guided Rome through wars and plague while embodying duty and self-discipline. His profound philosophical work Meditations, written during military campaigns, offers timeless insights into ethics, resilience and inner peace. Though never intended for publication, his writings remain a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy, inspiring us to live with integrity amid adversity."
