Born into a powerful family in A.D. 121, Marcus Aurelius was taught by scholars from many cultures. His uncle, the future Emperor Antoninus Pius, adopted Marcus and made him his heir. When Pius died in A.D. 161, Marcus co-ruled with his brother, Lucius Verus, for several years. After that, Marcus ruled alone. As emperor, Marcus defended the empire against invaders. He also worked to improve living conditions for the poor, particularly children. Unlike many emperors, he did not kill his political enemies. However, he did persecute Christians, whom he saw as enemies of the empire. Throughout his rule, Marcus practiced a philosophy of virtue and self sacrifice. He wrote about it in 12 books called Meditations. In A.D. 180 Marcus died. Quotes from Meditations From my grandfather Verus [I learned] good morals and the government of my temper...
