Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris)

Marcus Aurelius was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD and a stoic philosopher. He was the last of the rulers known as the Five Good Emperors, and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD. He led a Twelve Year Campaign in the province of Germania, and his legions there were commanded by the Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius. He was murdered by his son, Commodus, because Marcus had instead appointed Maximus to be his successor.

He was portrayed by the late Richard Harris in the 2000 film Gladiator.
