  <about><![CDATA[Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (often referred to as &quot;the wise&quot;) was Roman Emperor from 161 to his death in 180. He was the last of the &quot;Five Good Emperors&quot;, and is also considered one of the most important Stoic philosophers. His tenure was marked by wars in Asia against a revitalized Parthian Empire, and with Germanic tribes along the Limes Germanicus into Gaul and across the Danube. A revolt in the East, led by Avidius Cassius, failed.

Marcus Aurelius' work Meditations, written in Greek while on campaign between 170 and 180, is still revered as a literary monument to a government of service and duty and has been praised for its &quot;exquisite accent and its infinite tenderness.&quot;]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>    <born_at>04/26/2021</born_at>  <died_at>03/17/180</died_at>
