Height: 16 cm.

The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius is known as one of the “Five Good Emperors.” Marcus Aurelius (AD 121–180), the philosopher-emperor, ruled the Roman Empire together with co-emperor Lucius Verus from 161 to 180 AD. His legacy goes beyond his role as emperor, as he is also remembered as one of the most notable Stoic philosophers. His best-known work, “Meditations,” is a diary in which he reflects on his thinking, focused on the constant pursuit of virtue and wisdom and their practical application in daily life.

L’imperatore romano Marco Aurelio è noto come uno dei “Cinque buoni imperatori”. Marco Aurelio (121 d.C. – 180 d.C.), l’imperatore-filosofo, ha governato l’Impero Romano insieme al co-imperatore Lucio Vero dal 161 al 180 d.C. Il suo lascito va oltre il suo ruolo di imperatore, poiché è anche ricordato come uno dei più notevoli filosofi stoici. La sua opera più conosciuta, “Meditazioni”, è un diario in cui riflette sul suo pensiero, concentrato sulla costante ricerca della virtù e della saggezza e sulla loro applicazione pratica nella vita quotidiana.
