Guest faustina Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Information required about Marcus Aurelius in modern Media (cinema, tv-shows) I am working on my thesis. It includes a comparison of the fictional figure of Marcus Aurelius in the movies "Gladiator" and "The Fall of the Roman Empire". And also fiction compared to the hisorical emperor Marcus Aurelius. Has anybody suggestions or help for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'm afraid I can't think of any other fictional sources including Marcus Aurelius in any prominent role. Surprising considering his eventful reign really. He appears as a child in this story of Hadrian... Memoirs of Hadrian - Marguerite Yourcenar Island of Ghosts, by Gillian Bradshaw (involving moving Sarmatian units to Britian) is set during his reign, but I can't recall MA in any major role. (I haven't read it in years, but I remember it being an excellent read, at any rate) I'm sure I'm missing something but my memory is failing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
