# The Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

_A new rendering based on the Foulis translation of 1742_

By Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius.

"The Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus" by Marcus Aurelius is a series of personal writings composed between 170-180 CE. Written in Greek as private notes to himself, these reflections capture the Roman Emperor's thoughts on Stoic philosophy and self-improvement during military campaigns. Never intended for publication, the twelve books explore analyzing one's judgment, finding one's place in the universe, maintaining focus, and living according to reason. The work examines how to rise above material concerns and achieve inner harmony through rationality and clear-mindedness. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
