​

Romans, countrymen, philosophers, antiquarians and lovers of noble ideals, join us in this month's Ancient Classic selection, nominated by u/lovelifelivelife. We will explore the life and ideals of a fascinating Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. Lauded by Machiavelli as one of the "Five Good Emperors", he was also a Stoic philosopher. Stoicism was at its height in 3rd century BC but would return again and again, during the Renaissance and even into the modern era.

This is a short and pithy work, so I hope you will join in and take what is useful from a distilled, ancient wisdom. We will meet here, on r/bookclub on Saturdays, from March into April to discuss, learn, criticize and philosophize. Grab your copy, borrow it from the library, pick it up or get it on Gutenberg soon!
