Marcus Aurelius

Alexander Demandt

Marcus Aurelius is one of the most wellknown Roman Emperors and few historians are as familiar with all of the exceptionally rich source material about his life as Alexander Demandt. In this biographical study, he uses his considerable skills to introduce the reader to this widely admired philosopheremperor and his turbulent epoch.

Demandt explains the foundations of the Roman state, describes the conflicts with the Parthians and the Danubian people, the early harbingers of migration, as well as the persecution of Christians. Finally, he introduces us to the Emperor’s world of ideas, which we are familiar with thanks to his famous Meditations, a collection of thoughts on how to live a good life and advice on selfimprovement. What emerges is a portrait of a man who strived like no other towards goals of wisdom, justice and humanity and approached his duties as a ruler with a stoic commitment.
