During his reign the number of persecutions in various areas of the empire seems to have increased.

Who Marcus Aurelius chose his successor on the basis of his military and administrative abilities?

Marcus Aurelius chose his son, Commodus, as his successor, primarily due to his belief in familial loyalty and the hope that Commodus would continue his philosophical and governing ideals. However, Commodus's reign turned out to be quite different from his father's expectations, marked by erratic behavior and a lack of administrative skill. While Marcus aimed to ensure stability through his choice, the outcome demonstrated the complexities of hereditary succession. Ultimately, Commodus's leadership was seen as a departure from the virtues that Marcus Aurelius embodied.
