Fordham University: Ancient History Sourcebook: Marcus Aurelius Meditations

Curated by ACT

Ancient History Sourcebook offers the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Antonius, the "philosopher emperor" of Rome. This is one of the few pieces of literature written by a world leader; even more striking is the fact that it is a work of philosophy. Wonderful to read: educational and amazing.
