What was Marcus Aurelius fall as empire?

Marcus Aurelius, often hailed as a philosopher-king, faced significant challenges during his reign from 161 to 180 AD, including military conflicts and economic difficulties. Although he worked to uphold Stoic principles and manage the empire's affairs, the pressures of the Marcomannic Wars and a devastating plague strained resources and morale. His death marked the end of the Pax Romana, and the subsequent succession of his son Commodus led to instability, corruption, and the eventual decline of the Roman Empire. Thus, while Aurelius himself was an exemplary ruler, the seeds of decline were sown during and after his reign.

Therefore, approximately 296 years passed between the death of Marcus Aurelius and the fall of the Western Roman Empire with the rule of Romulus Augustulus.


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.
