How well was Marcus Aurelius's intelligence?
Most of his reign was spent directing the defense of the Empire from German invaders, but Marcus Aurelius was also a deep thinker and follower of the Stoic philosophy, and he wrote a book called Meditations which is still read today. When asked what book other than the Bible was most influential to his life, President Clinton named the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. [Somewhat ironic as Stoicism does not espouse self-indulgence.] Also, he was the last of the "Five Good Emperors." Upon his death in 180, the Roman Empire sank into gradual decline.
