What's Different About Middle Stoicism?

Stoicism and the other schools develope within roman society. Roman politicians like to have a philosopher, usually a stoic, in their own household. Marcus aurelius actualy wrote a book where he acts as if he were the stoic counsellorto to the emperor because he has both rolls. There were two stoics in particular who earned this label - panitius and posidonius. They really tried to bring plato into the stoic fold in a way nobody had done before.
