Presents the meditations of one of Rome's greatest Emperors which are read out by Derek Jacobi.
Marcus Aurelius was Emperor of Rome from 161 AD until his death in 180, during which time he witnessed the gradual crumbling of the Roman frontiers, as well as famines and plagues. He became interested in philosophy and, while staying in the Danube region, wrote down a series of reflections now known as the Meditations, which reveal a mind of great humanity and natural humility. Like the Eastern philosophy/religions of Taoism or Buddhism it is a philosophy that is practised rather than speculated upon. The bulk of the teaching is about our moral values, our involvement with our fellow men and the state, and above all the ideal of living in accord with nature.
