He took private lessons from the leading orators and philosophers of his time such as Fronto and Apollonius Chalcedonius. He reigned as Roman Emperor between 161-180 AD. Known with titles such as “Stoic Emperor” and “Philosopher Emperor”, Marcus Aurelius spent most of his reign on campaign despite being a peaceful man. Meditations on Myself, which he began writing during a campaign against Germanic tribes in late 169 AD, is of great importance in terms of Stoicism, especially Roman Stoicism. Marcus Aurelius, who had a strong belief in equality and freedom, tried to live by knowing and understanding nature throughout his empire, placing humans at the center of everything. In Meditations on Myself, which can be considered a collection of aphorisms and thoughts written as a diary, he not only criticizes the Caesars and philosophers before him, but also questions himself and performs an examination of conscience. Meditations on Myself, which was a foundation for later generations, church thinkers, and the Renaissance, is still a very valuable source today in terms of understanding Stoic philosophy.
