Marcus Aurelius is one of my ‘intellectual’ history crushes, and his Meditations is like THE GREATEST BOOK EVER, for me. He was called a philosopher king while he was alive and is still considered so. I love how Herodian said he is the sole emperor who “gave proof of his learning not by mere words or knowledge of philosophical doctrines but by his blameless character and temperate way of life.” That is total badassery only attained by virtuous. Cool or what?
