The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor from AD 161-180, composed the twelve books of Meditations as a means of personal guidance and self-improvement during military campaigns. Likely written in Sirmium and Aquincum, these reflections were not originally intended for publication and lack an official title. The text consists of a series of quotations that range in length, offering insights into Aurelius's thoughts and philosophies. This edition features a translation by George Long and is narrated by Robin Homer.
