Hello my name is Marcus Aurelius and I was born in 121. I was the Roman emperor from 161 to 180. I am also known as a stoic philosopher due to the fact that someone stole my notebooks and published the wisdom and my personal notes contained within. My father died when I was 3 so I never really knew him. I was adopted by Antoninus Pius so that I would succeed him as Emperor. My own son succeeded me as emperor but ultimately was a complete disappointment to me. I also have a cat called gato.
