Yes, it is reported that during a triumph, a slave would remind Marcus Aurelius of his mortality by whispering, "Remember, you are only a man." This practice served as a humbling reminder to the Roman Emperor, emphasizing the importance of humility and the transient nature of life, even for someone in a position of great power. Aurelius often reflected on such themes in his writings, particularly in his work "Meditations."

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
Did Marcus Crassus know Julius Caesar?
I think you could say that he did. Marcus Crassus was not only a partner of Julius Caesar in the first triumvirate, but he was also the man who, for the most part, bankrolled Caesar's political career.
What is the contribution of Marcus Aurelius?
He was the last of the "Five Good Emperors", and nearly completed a campaign to conquer Germany once and for all, creating two new provinces, Marcomannia and Sarmatia. He was altruistic, wise, and a strong leader. He died suddenly in 180 AD and his son Commodus took power, as Marcus Aurelius had not named any other successor. The same could not be said for Commodus as could be said for his father. He disbanded the campaign and spent the rest of the funds his father had built on games in his own honor. It could be argued that if Marcus Aurelius had lived, or at least named a more competent successor, the empire may not have fallen, at least not as soon as it did.
What is an important form of everyday resistance to white dominations among Native Americans?
Where to even begin. Although much of this will make no sense to you, a few things (stories, or whatever) are: * Only a white man needs a clock to tell him he is hungry. * Only a white man needs a clock to tell him its morning and the sun is up / night and the sun is down. * Only a white man needs a calendar to tell him its (summer, fall, winter, spring). * Only a white man thinks that "Life" means forever / white men cannot see past the tip of their own noses. * Only a white man will steal from his own children. There is also a strong resistance against white religions because these religions preach that "Any and All Sins" are forgiven by a simple belief that they are, this has entitled white men to commit every one of these sins (with zealous abandon) because of this belief. White religions are also religions of convenience, when their "gods" are needed they call on them and others belief in them, but when they commit sins against that god they shun his existence. This same conduct is best exemplified by a man who leaves on his wedding ring, until of course it is a problem for him; so he hides it in his pocket. As a quick view of white society. One people, One Voice, One goal.

What prompted the Roman Emperor Verus to declare war on the Parthians?
This war was not the result of the Romans declaring war on Parthia. It was the Parthians who started it. Their king, Vologases IV, invaded Armenia, a Roman client state, expelled its king and installed his own. The first Roman response was not by Lucius Verus or Marcus Aurelius (his co-emperor). It was by Marcus Sedatius Severianus, the governor of Cappadocia. He was defeated. After that the Parthians invaded Syria. The Romans sent a senator to fight there. Lucius Verus was only the third man who was sent to lead the fight against the Parthians. It was decided to send him instead of Marcus Aurelius. Ostensibly this was because he was stronger and healthier than Marcus Aurelius. However, a Roman writer suggested different motives.
