Talk:Marcus Aurelius
From Academic Kids
Someone needs to clear up the "following emperor" confusion for Marcus and Lucius Verus. According to the wiki, they followed each other in an endless cycle. ;) --Dante Alighieri 22:01 Dec 5, 2002 (UTC)
Does anyone know wether Meditations is the same book as the Norwegian Til meg selv (English: To myself)? --Sigg3.net
Yes, it is. Andres

Quotes moved here from wrong emperor, to decide whether to go here or in Wikiquote:
"Everything—a horse, a vine—is created for some duty...For what task, then, were you yourself created?"
"A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for."
"How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it."
"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."
"Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours."

Why is Byzantine Emperors listed as a 'See also'? -- Ds13 21:09, 2004 Apr 12 (UTC)
- Well they were the continuation of the Roman emperors, but it is a little early for that I suppose. You could just remove it if you want. Adam Bishop 21:14, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
dueling pictures
Actually, I thought the first picture was better - better angle, better color. Stan 20:47, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Not to worry - we have room for both. :-) I'm a bit uneasy about the lack of attribution though ("public domain assumed"?). -- ChrisO 23:31, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Reverted edit (Feb. 25, 138 rather than 139)
I don't know where this date comes from, neither the Feb. 25 nor the 138/139. But: the sources say Marcus was 18, which he could not have been on Feb. 25, 138 or 139. Pending proof of this date, then, since neither date appears to be possible, there doesn't seem to be any reason to make the change, so I've tentatively reverted it. — Bill 00:39, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
You Forgot To Include He wrote In Greek Not Latin
Perseus Project the "Memoirs of Marrcus Aurileus" written in Greek.
You will need to include that because that for the non militants it is a more significant contribution. He writes what he learned from the various peoples he met along his travels and gives an important insight to the man.
