Marcus Aurelius Antoninus The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was the Emperor of Rome from 161 until his death. Born Marcus Annius Verus, he was adopted by the emperor Antoninus Pius in 138, and married his daughter Annia Galeria Faustina a few years later. He succeeded to the throne without difficulty on Antoninus' death. Marcus Aurelius was educated by the best tutors in Rome and was a devotee of Stoicism. However, he felt with more religious fervour the communion of man in the unity of the universe than most other Stoics. In his later years he wrote the Meditations as a relief from his lonely office, in which he attempts to reconcile his Stoic philosophy of virtue and self-sacrifice with his role as emperor. As a philosopher Aurelius believed that a divine providence had placed reason in man, and it was in the power of man to be one with the rational purpose of the universe. This is a duty to a man himself and to the citizens of God's State. No man can be injured by another, he can only injure himself. He attempted to be a philosopher-king, which he considered a moral rather than a political ideal. He believed that the moral life leads to tranquility, and stressed the virtues of wisdom, justice, fortitude, and moderation.

Emperor Marcus Aurelius (A.D. 121-180) (click image to view enlargement) Probably ca. A.D. 160-170 Commentary M arcus, the son of Annius Verus and Domitia Lucilla, was born in Rome in April of 121. His father, brother-in-law of Antoninus Pius , died when Marcus was only ten months old. As a child Marcus was highly favored by Hadrian who, in attempting to create a kind of dynasty, insisted that Antoninus Pius adopt him (see cat. 24). His name was changed to Marcus Aelius Aurelius Verus Caesar, reflecting various familial and political ties. He was also betrothed to the daughter of Aelius Caesar (see Hadrianic Noble , Riley Collection) but, once Antoninus Pius became emperor, this arrangement was dissolved. Marcus was engaged to the new emperor's daughter, Anna Galeria Faustina Minor (see Antonine Woman as Venus , Riley Collection). Antoninus Pius reigned for almost twenty-four years but on 7 March 161 Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, as he was now called, became emperor at age forty. In an act of magnanimity that was to characterize his reign, he insisted that the intentions of Antoninus Pius be honored by accepting the co-regency of Lucius Verus , son of Aelius Caesar. Unfortunately, the degenerate Verus was not a worthy partner. His early death in 169 must have been a relief to Marcus Aurelius and the Roman nobility. Aurelius continued to rule until his death on 17 March 180, just ten days short of the nineteenth anniversary of his ascendancy.

Marcus Aurelius Roman Emperor, A.D. 161-180, born at Rome, 26 April, 121; died 17 March, 180. His father died while Marcus was yet a boy, and he was adopted by his grandfather, Annius Verus. In the first pages of his "Meditations" (I, i-xvii) he has left us an account, unique in Antiquity , of his education by near relatives and by tutors of distinction; diligence, gratitude and hardiness seem to have been its chief characteristics. From his earliest years he enjoyed the friendship and patronage on the Emperor Hadrian, who bestowed on him the honour of the equestrian order when he was only six years old, made him a member of the Salian priesthood at eight, and compelled Antoninus Pius immediately after his own adoption to adopt as sons and heirs both the young Marcus and Ceionius Commodus, known later as the Emperor Lucius Verus. In honour of his adopted father he changed his name from M. Julius Aurelius Verus to M. Aurelius Antoninus. By the will of Hadrian he espoused Faustina, the daughter of Antoninus Pius. He was raised to the consularship in 140, and in 147 received the "tribunician power". His Reign (161-180) His co-reign with Lucius Verus (161-169) . In all the later years of the life of Antoninus Pius, Marcus was his constant companion and adviser. On the death of the former (7 March, 161) Marcus was immediately acknowledged as emperor by the Senate. Acting entirely on his own initiative he at once promoted his adopted brother Lucius Verus to the position of colleague, with equal rights as emperor.

Marcus Aurelius: From the Meditations "...My city and country, so far as I am Antoninus, is Rome, but so far as I am a man, it is the world. " Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121-180 CE), child of an aristocratic Roman family, adoptive heir to Emperor Antoninus Pius, and bearer of the nickname Verissimus bestowed by Hadrian: the first real philosopher emperor since Asoka. Influenced primarily by the Stoics, Cato and Junius Rusticus, he remained a serious student of philosophy. He became sole emperor (Pontifex Maximus) of Rome in 161 and in 167 wrote the Meditations , the last work of classical Stoicism. He fought in many wars during his reign, particularly in defense of the Empire against incursions by Persians and Germanic tribes, and he died while away on a military expedition in 180. Although I dislike his Platonic streak, his tedious emphasis on reason, his interpretation of wrongdoing as involuntary (a surprisingly wimpy thought for such a battle-hardened general), his dismissal of tragedy as "the universe wanted it that way," his naiveté about the psychology of suffering, and his contempt for the body and the things of the world, I find in much of his thought a refreshing austerity and a manly integrity. He is straightforward and steady. And he would have approved Shakespeare's "To thine own self be true" with the qualification that such truth always aimed at a sense of oneness with other beings. My comments appear in italics.

Unit 3: Ancient Rome / Roman Peace Most Happy and Prosperous In the late eighteenth century, Edward Gibbon wrote his influential book The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire beginning with the premise that the second century A.D. was the high point from which Rome later declined. The Roman state had emerged from the misrule of the early emperors into a period of peace and prosperity under a series of so-called Good Emperors from Nerva to Marcus Aurelius (96-180). It was during this period, Gibbon argues, that Europe was created as a cultural entity that would endure the fall of the Roman Empire. An Ethical Plea to the Emperor Nero, ca. A.D. 67 The Romans borrowed the philosophy of the Stoics from the Greeks, accepting it more readily than they did other Greek ideas. Stoics built up the ideal of the virtuous, wise man and based ethics on logic and physics. In their ethical creed, the Stoics listed virtue as the greatest good in life. They associated virtue with happiness, claiming that it could not be touched by changes in fortune. Following these precepts, the Stoic philosopher Seneca (4 B.C.-A.D. 65) made an ethical appeal to the Emperor Nero (r. 54-68 A.D.) to practice clemency toward his subjects. Returning with Temple Spoils Jews living under the Romans in the first century A.D. could not accept Roman rule and wished to reestablish their own independant kingdom in the homeland region around Jerusalem. In 66, they rebelled in earnest against the Romans, who suppressed the rebellion and, four years later, destroyed the Jewish temple at Jerusalem, the central site of Jewish worship and religious life. Although the Romans had captured Jerusalem, some more remote fortresses, like Masada on the western side of the Dead Sea, remained sites of Jewish resistance. A Roman siege of Masada lasted until 73, when its inhabitants, realizing they were defeated and not wanting to become Roman captives, took their own lives.

ANCIENT ROMAN HISTORY 2000-1000 BCE: Rome Indo-European immigrants slowly inhabit Italy by way of the Alps. They bring the horse, the wheeled cart, and artistic knowledge of bronze work to the Italian peninsula. Two different groups, the Greeks and the Etruscans, occupy different regions of the peninsula during the eighth century. 753 BCE: Rome Archeological research indicates that the founders of Rome itself are Italic people who occupy the area south of the Tiber River. By the sixth century BCE, Rome will have become the dominant power of most of its surrounding area. Their conservative government consists of a kingship, resembling the traditional values of the patriarchal family; an assembly, composed of male citizens of military age; and a Senate, comprised of elders who serve as the heads of different community sects. 600 BCE: Rome The Etruscans, believed to be natives of Asia Minor, establish cities stretching from northern to central Italy. Their major contributions to the Romans are the arch and the vault, gladiatorial combat for entertainment and the study of animals to predict future events. The Greeks establish city-states along the southern coast of Italy and the island of Sicily. Their contributions to the Romans are the basis of the Roman alphabet, many religious concepts and artistic talent as well as mythology. 509 BCE: Rome The Roman monarchy is overthrown and replaced with a republic. For more than two centuries following the establishment of the Roman Republic, Rome is constantly at war with the other inhabitants of Italy (the Etruscans and the Greeks).
