Marcus Aurelius (121-180 CE), Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, born at Rome, received training under his guardian and uncle emperor Antoninus Pius (reigned 138-161), who adopted him. A gentle man, he lived in agreement and collaboration with Antoninus Pius. He was converted to Stoicism and henceforward studied and practised philosophy and law.
From 169 onwards he had to struggle hard against the German Quadi, Marcomani, Vandals, and others until success came in 174. He married Pius's daughter and succeeded him as emperor in March 161, sharing some of the burdens with Lucius Verus.Marcus's reign soon saw fearful national disasters from flood, earthquakes, epidemics, threatened revolt (in Britain), a Parthian war, and pressure of barbarians north of the Alps. In 175 (when Faustina died) he pacified affairs in Asia after a revolt by Avidius.
