"This book examines the biography of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. It seeks to
further understand the author of the Historia Augusta alongside the reminiscences
of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Geoff W. Adams arrives at this understanding through
a study of a wide range of literary texts. Marcus Aurelius was a very important ruler
of the Roman Empire, who has had an impact symbolically, philosophically, and historically
upon how the Roman Empire has been envisioned. Adams achieves this end to bring a
clearer understanding to his representation and to modern interpretations of his highly
interpreted and romanticized representations in the ancient texts."--Publisher's website
