Commentary
M arcus, the son of Annius Verus and Domitia Lucilla, was born in Rome in April of 121. His father, brother-in-law of Antoninus Pius , died when Marcus was only ten months old. As a child Marcus was highly favored by Hadrian who, in attempting to create a kind of dynasty, insisted that Antoninus Pius adopt him (see cat. 24). His name was changed to Marcus Aelius Aurelius Verus Caesar, reflecting various familial and political ties. He was also betrothed to the daughter of Aelius Caesar (see Hadrianic Noble , Riley Collection) but, once Antoninus Pius became emperor, this arrangement was dissolved. Marcus was engaged to the new emperor's daughter, Anna Galeria Faustina Minor (see Antonine Woman as Venus , Riley Collection). Antoninus Pius reigned for almost twenty-four years but on 7 March 161 Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, as he was now called, became emperor at age forty. In an act of magnanimity that was to characterize his reign, he insisted that the intentions of Antoninus Pius be honored by accepting the co-regency of Lucius Verus , son of Aelius Caesar. Unfortunately, the degenerate Verus was not a worthy partner. His early death in 169 must have been a relief to Marcus Aurelius and the Roman nobility. Aurelius continued to rule until his death on 17 March 180, just ten days short of the nineteenth anniversary of his ascendancy.

A GENERAL OVERVIEW
The Roman Contribution to Western Material Culture
The Romans, coming along behind the Greeks (after defeating the Greeks militarily in 146 BC and turning Greece into a Roman province), put into effect a wonderfully ordered material civilization. This civilization indeed gave witness to the power of human reason or human engineering to work with the natural world in producing a place that people often thought was perfection itself. Roman civilization bore out the hope of the Greeksby giving the West a practical example of the orderly life. The Romans were not intellectual innovatorsas the Greeks were with their powerful philosophies. Rather, the Romans were powerful adminstratorssuch as the Greeks themselves were never able to be. The Romans, with their sense of legal or administrative order, put the Greek ideas to work in life. Probably had not the Romans done so, the Greek contribution might itself have been put aside with its own growing cynicism and skepticism. Thus the Romans contributed immensely to (materialistic) Western civilization by demonstrating clearly that orderly cooperation with nature could produce amazing results.
The On-Going Influence of Hellenistic Thought
Yet even under the practical-minded Romans, Western philosophy continued to develop. But Roman philosophy tended to follow the lines laid down by Hellenistic Greece in the two previous centuries. Indeed, as once Eastern thought captured its Greek conquerors centuries before, now Greek thought began to capture its Roman conquerors. Thus did Greek Platonism and Stoicism continue to draw Western philosophy forward, though now under Roman patronage. Indeed despite Roman political ascendancy, the Greek-speaking eastern provinces of the Roman Empire continued by their own right to be vibrant and at times even dominant cultural-intellectual centers within the Roman Imperium.

Lecture 12
Augustus Caesar and the Pax Romana
On the morning of March 15, 44 B.C., JULIUS CAESAR was assassinated by several members of the Roman Senate. This was just one month after he had declared himself dictator of the Roman world. In the wake of his death, three men moved forward to form a new triumvirate which would punish Caesar's assassins and then divide up the Roman world. The members of this triumvirate consisted of Marc Antony (consul), Lepidus (high official), and Octavian (the grand nephew of Caesar). Up to the year 37 B.C., there was relative peace in the Roman world. Brutus and Cassius were defeated in the Battle of Philippi (42 B.C.) and Cicero, perhaps the greatest thinker in the Roman world, had his hands and head cut off and placed in public display in the Forum. These three men headed a republican faction against Caesar for the simple reason that Caesar had claimed absolute power for himself. But in 37 B.C., stability appeared to disintegrate. Antony had married Octavian's sister but had also formed some sort of marriage contract with Cleopatra . In 31 B.C., Antony and Cleopatra's navy was beaten by Octavian's forces at Actium. Antony fled to Alexandria where Octavian eventually followed. Antony committed suicide while Cleopatra took the asp.

MARCUS AURELIUS

"philosophers must become
kings or kings must

have peace." The fourteenth Roman
Emperor (from 161 to 180,
Marcus Aurelius (121-80)
was probably the closest
thing to a philosopher king the world has ever known. Born to a prominent Spanish family in Rome, he became an orphan at a young age and devoted himself to a life of study. By the age of twelve he was mastering geometry, music, mathematics, painting, and literature. Under the mentorship of private tutors he learned fluent Greek and Latin and the whole of philosophy from the ancients through the Stoics whom he most admired. By the age of fourteen he received the toga virilis, the white robe signifying adulthood and full citizenship in Rome. A series of events that brought him to the throne began when the emperor Hadrian picked Marcus's uncle Antoninus as his successor but only on the condition that Antoninus should designate Marcus to be the next Emperor.

2. PERSECUTIONS OF THE CHRISTIANS
Teresio Bosco
A new and malevolent superstition
The first instance of the Roman State taking action against Christians arose in the reign of the Emperor Claudius (41-54 A.D.). The historians Suetonius and Dio Cassius tell us that Claudius had to expel the Jews because they were continually arguing among themselves about a certain Chrestos. "Here we have first mention of the response to the Christian message in the community of Rome," comments Karl Baus.
The historian Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (70- ca.140) was a high-ranking official at the imperial courts of Trajan and of Hadrian. He was a scholar and counsellor of the emperors. He justified this and future actions of the State against Christians defining them as a "new and malicious superstition"; very harsh words.
As a "superstitio", Christianity was linked to "magia". For the Romans it was the same as the irrational practices which magicians and witches of evil character used to deceive the ignorant populace who had no training in philosophy. Magic was against reason and was common knowledge as opposed to philosophical knowledge. The accusation of magia (witchcraft), as well as that of insanity was a weapon with which the Roman State branded and suppressed new and suspect groups in society, such as Christianity.

The brief descriptions of books in this issue are based on our reviews of outstanding biographies and reminiscences beginning in 1991. We highly recommend these works for use by gifted students and their teachers. THE ROAD AHEAD BY BILL GATES (1995). VIKING: NEW YORK. This book and the diskette found inside the back cover are about the life of Bill Gates, the development of Microsoft Corporation, and the future impact of the computer industry upon American society. For those individuals whose computer skills have matured in conjunction with Microsoft's ascendance during the last 15 years, Gates' story is a nostalgic journey through different versions of MS-DOS and the PC computer to today's powerful Pentium computer and Windows 95. For young gifted students concerned with computer technology and programing, the book will show them the enormous leaps of technological progress made from the end of the Second World War to present times.

MAYOR GIULIANI ACCEPTS STATUE OF ROMAN EMPEROR MARCUS AURELIUS FROM MAYOR OF ROME
STATUE FROM NEW YORK CITY'S SISTER CITY WILL STAND IN CENTRAL PARK
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani today welcomed Mayor of Rome Francesco Rutelli to City Hall and accepted the gift of the statue of Rome's famed second century emperor Marcus Aurelius. The statue is a replica of the one which stands in front of City Hall in Rome, New York City's Sister City. Joining the Mayor at today's announcement was Parks Commissioner Henry J. Stern. "I would like to welcome Mayor Rutelli to New York City, the Sister City of Rome and thank him for this wonderful gift - the bronze statue of Marcus Aurelius," Mayor Giuliani said. "Marcus Aurelius is one of two great Roman symbols, representing the universality and history of Rome. The statue stands as a tribute to this second century "philosopher king" who ruled with a humanitarism philosophy and enlightened intellect." The Mayor continued, "New York City and Rome have always been linked in many ways. Italian immigrants came here by the millions and worked hard to help make New York City the Capital of the World. This statue is a wonderful tribute to that connection. And I promise that Commissioner Stern and I will find the emperor a good home in Central Park."

http://www.molloy.edu/academic/philosophy/sophia/ancient_lit/happiness/stoicism1
Stoicism [1] Foundations of Stoic Ethics 1. Who Were The Stoics? The founder of the Stoic school was Zeno , who was born in 333 BC in Citium on the island of Crete. In 311 he went to Athens to study philosophy under the cynic Crates and soon began lecturing himself in a hall ( stoa ) across from the Acropolis. The history of Stoic thought is usually divided into three distinct periods: early, middle and late:
  • Stoic doctrine was develop during the early period primarily by Zeno and his disciple, Chrysippus (d. c. 208 BC). The later came to be known as the "completer" of the Stoic system. Middle Stoics, such as Panaetius (185-109 BC) and Posidonius (135-150 BC) would dangerously modify Stoic ethics to the point where it became indistinguishable from that of the Peripatetics (the followers of Aristotle). The later Stoics wrote amidst the turmoil of the Roman Empire during the first and century centuries AD. Perhaps it was the turmoil of this period that led these later thinker to reject the innovations of the Middle Stoics in favor of a much more radical-though highly popularized-form of Stoic ethics. Among the most notable of the later Stoics are Seneca (4 BC-65 AD), the freed slave Epictetus (55-138 AD) and the Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD).
Unfortunately almost all that has been written by the early and middle Stoics have been lost to posterity. The source of most of our information about these thinkers comes from such sources as Diogenes Laertius'
