How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: Insights with Donald Robertson
The Stoic Handbook by Jon Brooks
Marcus Hadrian and Phyllis Cornelius Fronto
Hadrian was interested in intellectuals who were more shawy they gave elaborate speeches and stuff like that. This didn't really sit comfortably with Marcus so he had to be educated in rhetoric by men who were essentially Roman era stoics Herodes Atticus and Marcus Cornelius Fronto. The best estimate as a genius rusticus died around 170 AD which is round about the time we believe that Marcus started writing the meditations. There's a bit speculation involved here would be that this guy been studying philosophy and had these great philosopher mentors suddenly had to leave home for the first time and live in a military camp.
