Marcus Aurelius

Recommended Posts

While reading the book "The Origin of Satan" a section talked about then Imperial Prince (Is that the right term to use?) Marcus Aurelius. I found his views on spirituality to be really interesting, and the book mentioned a journal he kept, or a collection of writings, that he had done throughout his life, on campaign, etc. I found his views to be remarkably Buddhist.

 

So is there anywhere I could find his writings. Any books you'd reccomend that talks about Marcus Aurelius?

If you google his name you'll probably find Meditations on the web for free. Most of the primary resources can be found for free.

Speaking of primary sources, where are the best places to find them on the web ?

I'm reading " The Travels of Ibn Battutah " at the moment and its amazing ( nothing to do with Rome but he does meet the Byzantine Emperor )
