About the book
Meditations is a private notebook kept by Marcus Aurelius, who ruled the Roman Empire from 161 to 180 CE. He wrote it in Greek, probably during the 170s, when he spent years with the army fighting tribes along the Danube frontier; notes at the ends of the first two books name places there. He seems to have written it for himself, not for readers.
