The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121 AD – 180 AD) is known as one of the “Five Good Emperors” and as the philosopher-emperor. He ruled the Roman Empire from 161 to 180 AD alongside co-emperor Lucius Verus. He is also remembered as one of the most notable representatives of Stoic philosophy. One of his best-known works is “Meditations,” a diary written during his campaigns in which he reflects his thoughts, his constant pursuit of virtue and wisdom, and their application in everyday life.
During his rule, Marcus Aurelius faced numerous significant challenges, including military conflicts, epidemics, and internal crises. Stoic philosophy helped him endure the pressures of governance, according to the tenets of Stoicism that urge one to accept adversity with serenity and cultivate virtues such as generosity, justice, self-discipline, and moderation.
The figure of Marcus Aurelius continues to be admired today as an example of a leader capable of exercising political power from a practical philosophical perspective, based on personal reflection that leads to a constant quest for inner perfection and the practice of virtues.
Decorating with reproductions of sculptures of figures from classical antiquity, such as this bust of Marcus Aurelius, is an elegant and timeless way of adding a touch of sophistication to the spaces in your home.
