  • 62 Marcus Aurelius and the Kingdom of Gold w/ Judith Stove

    62 Marcus Aurelius and the Kingdom of Gold w/ Judith Stove
    Jun 30 2025

    Marcus Aurelius became emperor of Rome in 161 AD and went on to win several wars against the northern barbarians. But it wasn't his military exploits that earned him everlasting fame. Rather, it was his philosophical mind and the writings he left behind. In this episode, we are joined by author and scholar Judith Stove to explore the character, writings, and legacy of Rome's "philosopher king." Stove's latest book is called Marcus Aurelius and His Legacy: Seeking Rome's Kingdom of Gold.
