<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 6548266, member: 84905&quot;]I recently read that interpretations of Marcus Aurelius&#039; reign are far too favourable. According that book I read, Marcus Aurelius was an inept military commander, who squanderered Rome&#039;s resources with unnecessary wars and who, above all, failed to perpetuate the principle of the adopted sucessor, by leaving Rome in the hands of his incapable son Commodus. I was surprised by this assessment, as I always thought of Marcus Aurelius as the best of the best emperors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
