		Marcus was determined to pass from defense to offense and to an expansionist redrawing of Rome's northern boundaries.

	Emperor Marcus Aurelius: 161-180 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)

		Marcus had been, at the age of fifteen, betrothed to Fabia, the sister of Commodus; the engagement was broken off by Antoninus Pius, and he was betrothed to Faustina, the daughter of the latter.
		It has been assumed on the strength of a passage in Capitolinus that Aurelius married Faustina in 246, but the passage is not clear, and other evidence points strongly to 140; at all events it seems certain that a daughter was born to him in 140.
		Aurelius was thenceforth indisputed master of the empire, during one of the most troubled periods of its history.

	Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
		Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was the Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and the instigator of the fourth persecution.
		Marcus Aurelius embraced the rigid system of the Stoics, which taught him to submit his body to his mind, his passions to his reason; to consider virtue as the only good, vice as the only evil, all things external as things indifferent.
		As Tertullian said, "The blood of the martyrs are seed." Marcus Aurelius heartily disliked Christians, possibly because he thought of them as undermining the structure of civilization which he was laboring to maintain against domestic and foreign threats.

	Marcus Aurelius, (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Marcus used the opportunity to make a tour of pacification and inspection in the East, visiting Antioch, Alexandria, and Athens --where, like Hadrian, he was initiated into the Eleusinian Mysteries (though that esoteric religious cult does not seem to have impinged at all upon his philosophical views).
		Marcus had no choice in the matter: if he had not made Commodus his successor, he would have had to order him to be put to death.
		Marcus was a statesman, perhaps, but one of no great calibre; nor was he really a sage.

	The Thoughts Of The Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
		M. Antoninus, the son of Annius Verus and Domitia Calvilla, was born at Rome, A.D. The Emperor T. Antoninus Pius married Faustina, the sister of Annius Verus, and was consequently the uncle of M. Antoninus.
		Antoninus showed his humanity by his treatment of the family and the partisans of Cassius; and his letter to the Senate, in which he recommends mercy, is extant.
		Antoninus loved his wife, and he says that she was “obedient, affectionate, and simple.” The same scandal had been spread about Faustina's mother, the wife of Antoninus Pius, and yet he too was perfectly satisfied with his wife.

		Antoninus Pius died in March, A.D. The Senate, it is said, urged M. Antoninus to take the sole administration of the empire, but he associated with himself the other adopted son of Pius, L. Ceionius Commodus, who is generally called L. Verus.
		Antoninus Pius, when Marcus was associated with him in the empire, wrote to the cities that they must not trouble the Christians; among others, to the people of Larissa, Thessalonica, the Athenians, and all the Greeks.

		Serving first as co-emperor with Antoninus Pius, he became sole emperor in 161, preferring study to the political life.

		The nobility and simplicity of this man are almost without parallel in the turbulent times in which he lived; and unfortunately the long period of relative peace over which he (and his uncle, Antoninus Pius) presided ended abruptly on his death, and arguably has never returned.
		A Philosopher, Statesman and Emperor, Marcus Aurelius was one of the finest and most intelligent rulers Rome had.
		Aurelius was helped by the fact that he didn't care about being surrounded by men who knew more than him, unlike other leaders who want to take all the glory.
