Marcus Aurelius, aka MARCVS AVRELIVS ANTONINVS AVGVSTVS, (914-933 ab urbe condita) Fifth member of my Nerva-Antonine series, Imperator Marcus Aurelius. See the rest of the dynasty here [x] and read more about him below the cut.☆Merch Here☆I know that most of my artwork revolves around the end of the Republic, but my undergrad thesis actually involves the coinage of second and third centuries! This period was full of just as much drama as the beginning of the empire and I love everyone (mostly). Marcus Aurelius was one of the “five good emperors” and is known for having a generally peaceful rule where he pursued stoicism. -- source link
