Synopsis "The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (Wisehouse Classics Edition)"

MEDITATIONS (Medieval Greek: Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν Ta eis heauton, literally "to himself") is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the second book was written at Carnuntum. It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published and the work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.

Marco Aurelio Antonino (en latín: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus; Roma, 26 de abril de 121​-Vindobona o Sirmio, 17 de marzo de 180) fue un emperador del Imperio romano desde el año 161 hasta el año de su muerte, en 180. Fue el último de los llamados Cinco Buenos Emperadores, tercero de los emperadores procedentes de una familia de antiguos colonos itálicos asentados en la provincia de Baetica, y está considerado como una de las figuras más representativas de la filosofía estoica. Marco Aurelio y Lucio Vero fueron hijos adoptivos de Antonino Pío por mandato de Adriano, y los dos primeros, coemperadores del Imperio.

Su gobierno estuvo marcado por los conflictos militares en Asia frente a un revitalizado Imperio parto y en Germania Superior frente a las tribus bárbaras asentadas a lo largo del Limes Germanicus, en la Galia y a lo largo del Danubio. Durante el período de su imperio tuvo que hacer frente a una revuelta en las provincias del este liderada por Avidio Casio, la cual aplastó. Gobernó brevemente en solitario tras la muerte de Lucio Vero como consecuencia de la Peste antonina en 169, aunque desde 177 gobernó junto a su hijo Cómodo, quien le sucedería.

La gran obra de Marco Aurelio, Meditaciones, escrita en griego helenístico durante las campañas de la década de 170, todavía está considerada como un monumento al gobierno perfecto. Se la suele describir como «una obra escrita de manera exquisita y con infinita ternura».
