About this book
A Jesuit, John C. Joy, writes a ten-chapter study of the Roman emperor who ruled from 161 to 180 and wrote the Meditations. The chapters follow Marcus Aurelius from his boyhood training in Stoic thought through his years on the throne, life in the palace and campaigns on the Danube, to his last days in Rome. One chapter takes up the Meditations; another turns to the Christian martyrs of his reign. The first chapter builds on Matthew Arnold's praise of Marcus as one of the best rulers in history. The book was published in 1913 in St. Louis and Dublin.
