Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 A.D. He was a co-emperor with Lucius Verus from 161 to 169 A.D. He is the last emperor in the group of the “Five Good Emperors.” He is also a very important Stoic Philosopher. He also tried to be level-headed and fair when he was in office. He still acted like a common person, even though he was in the government. He let the people have free speech, even though Marullus, a writer, made fun of him. He was a kind and forgiving person to everyone and was a very good emperor.
