Marcus Aurelius: Emperor of Rome, accomplished statesman, general, and philosopher.
This eye-catching hand-drawn Philosophy-Print is guaranteed to be a conversation starter for sure.
Best known for his personal journal, which he called 'Meditations', Marcus Aurelius is a popular figure in history, being utilized in Ridley Scott's film 'Gladiator' as the wise and benevolent ruler of Rome and mentor to the film's protagonist. The portrayal of Marcus Aurelius in this fashion is no accident.
Known as one of the Five Good Emperors of Rome, he was even praised by Niccolo Machiavelli for having no need of praetorian cohorts, for he was defended by, to paraphrase, his own good life and the good-will of his subjects.
Because of his many accomplishments and the deep-reaching truth of his philosophical writings, he is often seen as the face, and mind, of modern Stoicism.
Whether to commemorate his life as a historical figure, or to remind you of any of his many quotes, verses, and passages that continue to inspire and encourage, this bust would make a statuesque addition to any end table, bookshelf, or office desk.

Our partners are present all over the world – and that allows us to print our artwork close to where you live. That means reduced shipping distances and lower carbon emissions. It also allows us to offer you affordable and fast delivery, with impeccable product quality.
All our posters are sent unframed. This is more cost-effective for our customers so we can keep our prices down. You can purchase frames online or at any local store.
Posters are shipped flat in a cardboard box for smaller sizes and rolled in a tube for larger prints.
