This is a brand new cloth-bound hardcover pocket gift edition of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius


The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (AD 121-180) embodied in his person that deeply cherished ideal figure of antiquity, the philosopher-king. 

His Meditations, written in moments snatched from military campaigns and the rigors of politics, reveal a mind of exceptional clarity and originality, and a sprit attuned to both the particulars of human destiny and the vast patterns which underlie it. 

4.4 x 1.3 x 6.9 inches
