Brilliant books - I have to reread Marcus Aurelius who was the greatest Roman of them all! We spent most of a 9 weeks period discussing The Gulag Archipelago when I was a Freshman in high school. I was blessed to have a few genius teachers.
MA was accused of Christian persecution in Gaul by only 1 ancient, Eusebius, who it can be said used the modern MSM tactics. He had a chapter entitled, That it will be necessary sometimes to use falsehood as a remedy for the benefit of those who require such a mode of treatment.
Others writing of persecution don't mention Aurelius. Tertullian, an early leader of the church,wrote that MA protected Christians.
I honestly don’t know much about Aurelius as of now, but I had seen that book mentioned a lot of places as a “must read.” I started reading it last night but didn’t make it very far yet
