Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor, famous for his philosophical writings, titled "Meditations". He ruled during the era of the "Five Good Emperors" (and was considered one of them) but came to power during troubled times (which some historians describe as the beginning of the decline of the empire), therefore his accomplishments, compared to the Julio-Claudians, for example, were limited. Most of his time as emperor was spent fending off invading Germanic tribes in the north and the Parthian empire in the east.
