The Emperor
Marcus Aurelius was the last major representative of the younger Stoa, one of the important philosophical Schools of Greece and Rome. As Princeps he succeeded his adoptive father Antoninus Pius and called himself Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus.
His reign ended in a period of great prosperity for the Roman Empire, which was characterized by extensive internal and external stability. In addition, he was the last of the so-called adoptive emperors, because with Commodus, who established a dictatorial regime, was a biological son of Marcus Aurelius.
