∙ 10y agoMarcus Aurelius was one of the five good emperors (the others were Nerva Trajan Hadrian and Antoninus Pius). They have been called good emperors because they were benign rulers, pursued moderate policies, ruled wisely, allowed a lot of freedom and were popular. This contrasted with the more tyrannical rule of other emperors.
Marcus Aurelius was distinguished from his extensive knowledge and keen interest in the law. He was described as "an emperor most skilled in the law" and "a most prudent and conscientiously just emperor." He paid a lot of attention to legal theory and practice. He was particularly active on legislation about the manumission of slaves and the guardianship of orphans and minors. He took an active interest in the choice of the decurions (town councillors).Marcus Aurelius was also distinguished as a stoic philosopher and wrote a philosophy book, the Meditations.
There were wars through most of the reign of Marcus Aurelius. His generals fought a long war against the Persians. Marcus Aurelius was also famous for having fought the wars against the Marcomanni and other Germanic groups who raided the empire from Bohemia.

If you mean the movie Gladiator starring Russell Crowe, there was no character named Caesar, as such. By the time of the setting of Gladiator, during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, "Caesar" was the title that the Romans used for all their emperors. In that particular movie, "Caesar" could have been either Marcus Aurelius, played by Richard Harris, or Commodus, played by Joaquin Phoenix.

Why was Emperor Marcus Aurelius - such a refined civilized man - so harsh in his treatment of Christians?
The extent to which Marcus Aurelius directed, encouraged, or was aware of Christan persecutions is unclear. During his reign the number of persecutions in various areas of the empire seems to have increased. However, in this period it was the local officials who dealt with the Christians and it was them who were responsible for persecutions. They often acted independently. The emperors saw Christianity as a local issue to be dealt with by the local officials. There was no imperial policy with regard to Christianity
What is the period from the beginning of Augustus' reign until the death of the last good emperor?
The period beginning with Augustus and ending with Aurelius can loosely be called the Pax Romana. I say loosely because trouble was brewing on the borders for years. Marcus Aurelius had to spend most of his reign fighting wars.
What did Marcus Aurelius do as emperor?
The period of Marcus Aurelius’ reign was one of wars. There was a war against the resurgent and aggressive Persians (160-166) which was fought by various generals. From 166 to 180 there were the Marcomannic Wars. T he Marcomanni, a Germanic people from Bohemia who crossed the frontier of the river Danube and, together with the Lombards and other Germanics, raided areas of the Balkan Peninsula. Marcus Aurelius managed to push them back. However, the Marcomanni and Quadi then attacked northeast Italy and at the same time the Costoboci from Northern Romania invaded the lower Danube, Macedonia and Greece. Marcus Aurelius managed to push them all back after a long struggle. Then he crossed the Danube, won a decisive victory and planned to invade Bohemia. However, he fell ill and died in 180. Marcus Aurelius was very interested in the law. He spent most of his time addressing legal matters, hearing petitions and arbitrating litigations. He dealt with matters of law theory and practice as was described as “an emperor most skilled in the law.” He was also a stoic philosopher and wrote a book on stoic philosophy (the Meditations) between 170 and 180 while he was campaigning against the Marcomanni. During Marcus Aurelius' reign there was also a plague which lasted from 165 to 180 and which has been named the Antonine Plague (after Marcus Aurelius’ family name, Antoninus). It is thought that it was a pandemic of either smallpox or the measles. It killed many people.
What are the divided time periods of different emperors called?
Periods of reign.
What were Caesar Marcus Aurelius antoninus Augustus' blemishes?
There are hardly any blemishes to be found in Marcus Aurelius. He was one of the five good emperors, was engaged in wars every year of his reign in the Parthian War (against the persians 161-66) and the Marcomannic Wars (166-180), was a stoic philosopher, and dealt with theory and practice of law, particularly in laws regarding the guardianship of orphans and minors and the manumission of slaves. He was highly praised and posterity saw him as a philosopher king. Herodian wrote: "Alone of the emperors, he gave proof of his learning not by mere words or knowledge of philosophical doctrines but by his blameless character and temperate way of life." In the Justinian Code he was described as "a most prudent and conscientiously just emperor and "an emperor most skilled in the law." The Christian writers praised him. Melitus said that he was more philanthropic and philosophic than his two predecessors who also were among the five good emperors. Marcus Aurelius biggest mistake was to designate his son Commodus as his successor. He turned out to be one of the worst emperors.
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. It is speculated that if he had continued the practice of naming an adopted son as his successor, instead of his natural son Commodus, the Pax Romana might have lasted much longer than it did.
