Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius (26 April 121 – 17 March 180) was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty, the last of the rulers later known as the Five Good Emperors and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calm, and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD. He served as Roman consul in 140, 145, and 161. This bust depicting Aurelius was found in the Roman villa of Chiragan and is in the collection of the Musée Saint-Raymond.

Equestrian Statue inconsistency

[edit]

This article describes the outstretched hand gesture on the equestrian statue as an act of clemency to a bested enemy, but the linked main article about the statue describes the same gesture as an address made by a military commander to his troops. Could someone please clarify this? Random-person-on-the-interwebz (talk) 04:04, 31 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Marcus Aurelius template

[edit]

Hey there! I have begun working on a Navbox template about emperor Marcus Aurelius (Draft:Template:Marcus Aurelius), aiming to be as detailed and comprehensive as possible. The issue is that in the process I found a Sidebar person template (Template:Marcus Aurelius). Should I work on that one instead, can the two coexist or should it be remplaced by my template? I don't think it would Sidebar one would look good being as detailed, but having both would be redundant. Some feedback would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
