Written sometime between 120-180 AD by Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, Meditations has possessed a sustained literary power for years and years. Aurelius explores his personal exploration through Stoicism and how it impacted his time as a warrior and eventual emperor of the Roman Empire. Though his tenure was riddled with concern, Aurelius found solace in his practice of stoic beliefs. Meditations provide as the personal profile of his reflections, beliefs, and dedication to personal and professional contentment. Stoicism, in practice around Three AD, is traced back to historic Greece at its founding by Zeno of Citium, and shows that moral virtue is the highest "good" produced by knowledge. Relying on his knowledge of stoicism, Aurelius could detach himself from worldly trouble and concern and instead find inner peacefulness in reason.
