Marc Aurele, Emperor of Rome in the second Century (160-180), left us a philosophical heritage based upon his very way of life: his style, his preoccupations, his every day’s fears. The writing of his “Pensees” helps him in his exercise of the political power, follows him at the war… Marc Aurele shows a proper preoccupation about finding his right place in the Natural and Social order, to properly assume his function as an Emperor. This major work of both Philosophy and Politic is read in French by Jacques Gamblin.” Claude Colombini-Fremeaux
