Marcus Aurelius Antony (12 1- 180), a famous Stoic philosopher, was born in Rome. His father's family used to be Spanish, but they have settled in Rome for many years and obtained aristocratic status from Emperor Vespasine (reigned in 69-79). Marcus Aurelius lost his father when he was a child and was raised by his mother and grandfather. He got the best education at that time in Greek literature and Latin literature, rhetoric, philosophy, law and even painting. He is familiar with and close to Stoic philosophy (such as epiktetos's works) from his teachers and practices it in his life.
Even when he was a child, Marcus Aurelius won the favor of Emperor Hedrian (reign time was 1 17- 138) for his frankness and sincerity. At that time, the throne of Rome was often replaced by a chosen adopter, not by bloodline. After the death of Liu Xiusi, the original heir, Emperor Hedrian chose Marcus Aurelius's uncle Antoninus Pius as his successor, on the condition that Pius also adopted Marcus Aurelius and the son of Comodus (later named Willers) as his successor. /kloc-When Emperor Hedrian died in 0/38, Marcus Aurelius won the title of Caesar-this title was usually given to the emperor's assistant and heir to help his uncle govern the country. When his uncle (also his adoptive father) died in 16 1, he immediately became the emperor of the ancient Roman empire. According to Hedrian's wishes, he and Willers enjoyed imperial power, but the latter did not actually play an important role.
Marcus Aurelius has been in power for nearly 20 years, which is a period of constant wars and frequent disasters. Floods, earthquakes, plagues, wars with other eastern regions, the advance of Marchmann people in the north of the Danube River basin, and internal rebellion caused the population of Rome to drop sharply, poverty deepened, and the economy declined day by day. Even if Marcus Aurelius worked hard all night with his firm spirit and wisdom, he could not stop the decline of the Roman Empire. During most of his reign, especially in the last ten years, he rarely stayed in Rome, but spent it in the frontiers of the empire or in military camps in various provinces. Meditation, a book written for myself, and a dialogue between myself and myself with a volume of 12 are mostly written in this kind of pommel horse fatigue. Marcus Aurelius married Faustina, the daughter of Antoninus Pius, and gave birth to 1 1 children. It is said that he was magnanimous when Kies, the famous general and deputy commander-in-chief of Syria, launched a rebellion. However, his attitude towards Christians is strict, and he once issued an imperial edict against Christians. On March 180, 2007, Marcus Ole stayed in Vendobona and died of illness.
