Meditations by Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius

"Meditations" by Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius is a series of personal writings composed between 170-180 CE. Written in Greek as private notes to himself, this work captures the Roman Emperor's reflections on Stoic philosophy and self-improvement during military campaigns. Never intended for publication, these intimate musings explore finding one's place in the universe, maintaining ethical principles, and achieving inner harmony through reason. The twelve books reveal how one of history's most powerful rulers sought to guide his own character and judgment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
