Meditations
Meditations may be a series of private writings by Antoninus ,
Roman Emperor 161–180 CE, setting forth his ideas on Stoic philosophy.Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in
Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that enormous portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it had been written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the second book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and therefore the third book was written at Carnuntum. It is not clear that he ever intended the writings to be published, therefore the title Meditations is but one among several commonly assigned to the gathering . These writings take the shape of quotations varying long from one sentence to long paragraphs.
