About the author

Marcus Aurelius

Ruled Rome from 161 to 180 and spent most of it at war, on the Danube frontier, dealing with plague and an attempted usurpation by a trusted general. He had been trained in Stoic philosophy from adolescence and kept a private notebook in Greek that was never meant to be published. It survived anyway.
