ISBN10: 0415171253, ISBN13: 9780415171250, [publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, London] Softcover Paperback. Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher-emperor who ruled the Roman Empire between AD 161 and 180, is one of the best recorded individuals from antiquity. Even his face became more than usually familiar: the imperial coinage displayed his portrait for over 40 years, from the clean-shaven young heir of Antonius to the war-weary, heavily bearded ruler who died at his post in his late fifties.His correspondence with his tutor Fronto, and even more the private notebook he kept for his last ten years, the Meditations, provides a unique series of vivid and revealing glimpses into the character and peoccupations of this emporer who spent many years in terrible wars against northern tribes.In this accessible and scholarly study, Professor Birley paints a portrait of an emporer who was human and just - an embodiment of the pagan virtues of Rome. An accessible and scholarly study of an emperor who was human and just throughout his long reign which was frequently punctuated by wars with the northern tribes.

Nice copy. ?For the history of Christianity in the second century the two most important emperors are Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, and the church historian needs competent guides to the lives, thought, and policies of both. Professor Birley of Manchester is such a guide for the life of Marcus, and his work, (?) will be indispensable for understanding the latter half of the second century. He says it is a biography, not a ?life and times?, but he illuminates the times as well, especially in regard to Christianity. (?) One can find no better introduction than Birley?s book, with its sensible analyses and compendious quotations from the sources. This second edition brings the bibliography up to date and (?) clears up some imperial family relationships (Appendix 2) and considers research ?on the Greek intellectual renaissance, on Fronto, and on the emerging Christians? (?). An important chapter shows that the emperor?s ?Meditations? are not timeless but are related to the wartime situations in which he composed them. (?) In any event, the book should be in the hands of anyone concerned with early church history or the history of the Roman world.? (R.M. GRANT in Church History, 1988, pp.76-77).
