Yea Marcus Aurelius, what a loser Emperor. I assume you’re talking about Marcus Aurelius Antoninus.
- seanhunter 3y agoI am yes. "Alone of the emperors, he gave proof of his learning not by mere words or knowledge of philosophical doctrines but by his blameless character and temperate way of life" -Herodian about Marcus Aurelius.
- Pigalowda 3y agoI was responding to the other guy. I knew you were talking about him. Maybe the coelacanth was talking about Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Elagabalus
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoI don't mean that he was a loser, just that he obviously spent a ton of time worrying about what it means to be a good man.
- Pigalowda 3y agoOf course he did. His “Meditations” are his personal journal - he’s giving himself advice. Sort of like telling yourself to be a good person and not just think about being one
