Ammianus Marcellinus in history, Quintus Aurelius Symmachus in oratory, and Ausonius and Rutilius Claudius Namatianus in poetry all wrote with great talent.

Theodora, the wife of Constantius Chlorus, is often called Maximian's stepdaughter by ancient sources, leading to claims by Otto Seeck and Ernest Stein that she was born from an earlier marriage between Eutropia and Afranius Hannibalianus .< ref > Aurelius Victor, de Caesaribus 39. 25 ; Eutropius, Breviaria 9. 22 ; Jerome, Chronicle 225 < sup > g </ sup >; Epitome de Caesaribus 39. 2, 40. 12, quoted in Barnes, New Empire, 33 ; Barnes, New Empire, 33 .</ ref > Barnes challenges this view, saying that all " stepdaughter " sources derive their information from the partially unreliable work of history Kaisergeschichte, while other, more reliable sources, refer to her as Maximian's natural daughter .< ref > Origo Constantini 2 ; Philostorgius, Historia Ecclesiastica 2. 16 < sup > a </ sup >, quoted in Barnes, New Empire, 33.

In the later 2nd century AD, Marcus Aurelius fought them in the Marcomannic Wars, for which our source is an abridgement of lost books of Dio Cassius ' history.

He was also interested in philosophy — studying, among others, Socrates, Vasile Conta, and the Stoics Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, and read works of history — the two Romanian historians who influenced him from early on were Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu and Nicolae Iorga.

Your history books told you it was Aurelius Venport?

Aurelius Victor was the author of a short history of imperial Rome, entitled De Caesaribus and covering the period from Augustus to Constantius II.

The confusion arises because Marcus Aurelius took the names of his predecessor as additional names, as a mark of respect and so is referred to in Chinese history as " An Tun ", i. e. " Antoninus ").

The first member of the gens who obtained the consulship was Gaius Aurelius Cotta in 252 BC, from which time the Aurelii become distinguished in history down to the end of the Republic.

The eight ideals of culture represented by Pentaour ( dawn of history ), Ezekial ( cosmic tradition ), Socrates ( birth of reason ), Marcus Aurelius ( reign of law ), St. John the Apostle ( glorification of faith ), Louis IX ( age of chivalry ), Isaac Newton ( discovery of nature ), and Abraham Lincoln ( liberation of peoples ) are also represented.

First, Gibbon famously argued that the reigns of the so-called Five Good Emperors, Nerva through Marcus Aurelius, was the period in which humanity was most content in all of history.

For example, Cordelia Chase's wish to Anyanka that Buffy Summers had never come to Sunnydale results in an alternate history where the Order of Aurelius, a centuries-old vampire cult, rules the town with an iron fist (" The Wish "), while Dawn Summers's wish to Halfrek that nobody would leave her causes the guests at Buffy's 21st birthday party, as well as anyone else who enters the Summers residence, to be trapped inside (" Older and Far Away ").

Again, Henley's attitude of defiance which colors his ideal of self-mastery is far from characteristic of a Stoic thinker like Marcus Aurelius, whose gentle acquiescence is almost Christian, comparable to the patience expressed in Milton's sonnet on his own blindness.

The great column from which the square takes its name was erected by the Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

He was born as the only child of Titus Aurelius Fulvus, consul in 89 whose family came from Nemausus ( modern Nîmes ).

Inevitably, the surviving evidence is not complete enough to determine whether one should interpret, with older scholars, that he wisely curtailed the activities of the Roman Empire to a careful minimum, or perhaps that he was uninterested in events away from Rome and Italy and his inaction contributed to the pressing troubles that faced not only Marcus Aurelius but also the emperors of the third century.

A recently published inscription from Aphrodisias confirms that he was head of one of the Schools at Athens and gives his full name as Titus Aurelius Alexander.

Augustus, the first Emperor ( r. 27 BC – AD 14 ), had nominally shared power with his colleagues, and more formal offices of co-Emperor had existed from Marcus Aurelius ( r. 161 – 80 ) on.

Under the governance of the jurists Gregorius, Aurelius Arcadius Charisius, and Hermogenianus, the imperial government began issuing official books of precedent, collecting and listing all the rescripts that had been issued from the reign of Hadrian ( r. 117 – 38 ) to the reign of Diocletian.

Aurelius quotes from Epictetus repeatedly in his own work, Meditations, written during his campaigns in central Europe.

Hengist continues that Vortigern's subjects threaten Vortigern and say that they will bring over Aurelius Ambrosius from Armorica to depose Vortigern and make Aurelius king.

During the persecution of Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor from 161-180, Irenaeus was a priest of the Church of Lyons.

The Dialogue is a later work than the First Apology ; the date of composition of the latter, from the fact that it was addressed to Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, and Lucius Verus his adopted sons, must fall between 147 and 161.

Important works from the 100s include the Attic Nights of Aulus Gellius, a collection of anecdotes and reports of literary discussions among his friends ; and the letters of the orator Marcus Cornelius Fronto to Marcus Aurelius.

( However, it has been argued that these depictions are from an earlier monument by Marcus Aurelius, from which Constantine incorporated portions into his Arch.

Though he can hardly have known him, Marcus Aurelius wrote in his Meditations that he had learned " modesty and manliness " from his memories of his father and from the man's posthumous reputation.
