The quote I chose is‚ “The best revenge is not to become like the one who wronged you.” Marcus Aurelius came up with this quote. I think this quote means that if you do something back to a person that has wronged you‚ you’re just stooping down to their level and giving them satisfaction. But‚ if you don’t get revenge on them and don’t stoop to their level‚ it’ll be revenge within itself because it shows them that you’re the bigger person. A real word example would be‚ the United States and terrorists

Women wept in the presence of Marcus the Conqueror. He loved to hear them cry out in passion.

The book he wrote was a collection of thoughts‚ things he advised himself to do‚ a piece reflecting his stoicism‚ and a personal diary of sorts.

A tragic hero is stated to be the main character of the tragedy that always

This quote is a perfect example of the stoic ideal because what Marcus Aurelius is saying‚ is that instead of complaining about the situation‚ you should be appreciative of what you

Cicero: A (Somewhat) Model Roman Marcus Tullius Cicero was assigned the proconsulship of Cilicia during the year 51-50 B.C. and‚ via correspondence between him and multiple of his close friends‚ his attitudes and actions during his governorship become quite clear. Although his aims maintain hints of triviality‚ there is no doubt that‚ based on Cicero’s own words‚ he had the province’s well-being and his duties in mind. This being said‚ Cicero by no means speaks highly of Cilicia and it is evident
