Marcus Aurelius was a successful emperor. His generals won a war with Persia (161-166). He fought the Marcomannic War (166-173) against Germanic peoples who had crossed the river Danube. During that campaign he fell ill and there were rumours that he had died. A rebellion broke out in most of the eastern part of the empire.
