  Marcus Aurelius Antoninus - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
MARCUS AURELIUS ANTONINUS (121-180), Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, was born in Rome A.D. 121, the date of his birth being variously stated as the 6th, 21st and 26th of April.
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.
Marcus himself says, "To the gods I am indebted for having good grandfathers, good parents, a good sister, good teachers, good associates, good kinsmen and friends, nearly everything good." He was educated, not at school, but by tutors, Herodes Atticus and M. Cornelius Fronto in the usual curriculum of rhetoric and poetry;.

Marius was born in 157 BC in the town of Arpinum in southern Latium.
The facts that Marius had connections with the nobility in Rome, that he ran for local office in Arpinum and that he had marriage relations with the local nobility in Arpinum all combine to indicate that he was born into a locally important family of equestrian status.
In 91 BC Marcus Livius Drusus was elected tribune and proposed a greater division of state lands, the enlargement of the Senate, and a conferral of Roman citizenship upon all freemen of Italy.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Marius
Marius is the second emperor of the so-called "Gallic Empire".
Obviously Marius was in a very difficult position from the very first days of his reign: he needed to retain the loyalty of Postumus' troops which had brought him to power; he also had to reconcile these forces with the remnants of Laelianus' army.
König thinks that Cologne remained the capital of Marius and that Marius' successor Victorinus moved the capital of the "Gallic Empire" to Trier (König 1981, 145).

Marcus was himself comanander-in-chief, and victory was due no less to his own ability than to his wisdom in choice of lieutenants, shown conspicuously in the case of Pertinax.
Marcus now went to the east, and while there the murderers brought the head of Cassius to him; but the emperor indignantly refused their gift, nor would he admit the men to his presence.
But although Marcus Aurelius may have held intellectually that his soul was destined to be absorbed, and to lose consciousness of itself, there were times when he felt, as all who hold it must sometimes feel, how unsatisfying is such a creed.

 Marius and the Necessity of Religion (Chapter 19)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Marius the Epicurean (1885) is not only the supreme intellectual and artistic effort of Pater's career, but it represents the ultimate reach of the dialectical impulse that had governed so much of his earlier career.
Marius becomes a thoroughgoing revision or at least reshaping of Pater's characteristic positions in the Renaissance and elsewhere; and his basic dichotomy between culture and religion is worked out in terms strikingly dose to Arnold's historical and ethical theory of the relations between Hebraism and Hellenism.
Marius' own standards remain, for the while, 11 aesthetic"--there must be no "sacrifice" of any possible experiencebut the phrase "the merely aesthetic sense" and references to sympathy, friendship, and patriotism prepare the reader for the advent of Pater's Hellenic Christianity.

 Newman and the Theology of Marius (Chapter 23)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
But it is not until Volume II that Marius, under the influence now of the Stoic Cornelius Fronto, considers (in a passage already strongly reminiscent of Newman for other reasons) the possibility of and the need for "moral assents" and "a place for duty and righteousness in his house of thought" (ME, II, 7).
Not surprisingly, Marius, Pater's supreme elite soul, is intrigued by Heraclitus' emphasis on "the difference between the many and the few"; throughout much is heard of the mingled aesthetic and moral superiorities of "the select few," "the rare minority of elite intelligences," "certain elect souls" (ME, 1, 128, 133, 242; 11, 7, 57).
Marius adopts this ideal of Humanity (in a sense "beyond the actual intention of the speaker") and is now prepared for his final engagement with Christianity.

 Fictionwise eBooks: The Meditations: A New Translation by Gregory Hays by Marcus Aurelius & Gregory Hays
Marcus Aurelius is said to have been fond of quoting Plato's dictum, and those who have written about him have rarely been able to resist applying it to Marcus himself.
Marcus makes reference in the Meditations to his father's character as he remembered it or heard of it from others, but his knowledge must have been more from stories than from actual memories.
Under the supervision of a trained rhetor, Marcus would have begun with short exercises before progressing to full-scale practice declamations in which he would have been asked to defend one side or another in imaginary law cases, or to advise a prominent historical figure at a turning point in his career.

 Meditations, Marcus Aurelius
In Rome itself there was pestilence and starvation, the one brought from the east by Verus's legions, the other caused by floods which had destroyed vast quantities of grain.
After all had been done possible to allay famine and to supply pressing needs - Marcus being forced even to sell the imperial jewels to find money - both emperors set forth to a struggle which was to continue more or less during the rest of Marcus's reign.

 glbtq >> literature >> Pater, Walter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
His historical novel Marius the Epicurean, set in Rome during the era of emperor Marcus Aurelius, was warmly received.
Subsequent critics have seen in Marius a prototype of the novels of James Joyce and Thomas Mann.
And as Marius the Epicurean puts it, in the most characteristically Paterian way, this is "an art in some degree peculiar to each individual character; with the modifications, that is, due to its special constitution, and the peculiar circumstances of its growth, inasmuch as no one of us is 'like another, all in all.'"

The Epicureanism of Marius is that of the master, more than that of Aristippus and the Cyrenaics, still more than that of Timocrates *[Diogenes Laërtius, Bk.
This, then, is the true moral significance of art and poetry.
Not pleasure, but fulness, completeness of life generally, was the practical idea to which this anti-metaphysical metaphysic really pointed.
