He ruled with Lucius Verus as co-emperor from 161 until Verus' death in 169. He was the last of the "Five Good Emperors", and is also considered one of the most important Stoic philosophers. During his reign, the Empire defeated a revitalized Parthian Empire; Aurelius' general Avidius Cassius sacked the capital Ctesiphon in 164. Wrote the stoic tome Meditations.
Marcus Aurelius
Emperor 161-180 AD

The Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as the Castel Sant'Angelo, is a towering cylindrical building in Rome, initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The building was later used as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum.
The tomb of the Roman emperor Hadrian, also called Hadrian's mole, was erected on the right bank of the Tiber, between 135 AD and 139 AD. Originally the mausoleum was a decorated cylinder, with a garden top and golden quadriga. Hadrian's ashes were placed here a year after his death in Baiae in 138 AD, together with those of his wife Sabina, and his first adopted son, Lucius Aelius, who also died in 138 AD.
The building was converted into a military fortress in 401.
Legend holds that the Archangel Michael appeared atop the mausoleum, sheathing his sword as a sign of the end of the plague of 590, thus lending the castle its present name.
The popes converted the structure into a castle, from the 14th century.
The Papal state also used Sant'Angelo as a prison; Giordano Bruno, for example, was imprisoned there for six years. Executions were made in the small interior square.
Decommissioned in 1901, the castle is now a museum, the Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo.
Where the children of Marcus Aurelius and Faustina were buried.
Marcus steadied himself:
"One man prays: 'How I may not lose my little child', but you must pray: 'How I may not be afraid to lose him'."
He quoted from the Iliad what he called the "briefest and most familiar saying...enough to dispel sorrow and fear": leaves,
the wind scatters some on the face of the ground;
like unto them are the children of men.
– Iliad 6.146

Antalya’da bulunan Aspendos Tiyatrosu, Roma İmparatoru Marcus Aurelius döneminde (M.S. 161–180) mimar Zenon tarafından yapıldı. Anadolu’da sahne binası ayakta kalmış tek Roma tiyatrosu olan yapı, konumlandığı dik yamacın eğimi sayesinde akustik özellikleri açısından üstünlük gösterir. Selçuklu Türklerinin bölgede hâkimiyet kurmasının ardından restore edilerek kervansaray olarak kullanılmıştır. 1930’da yöreyi ziyaret eden Atatürk, uzun süre ihmal edilmiş olan tiyatronun onarılıp yeniden kültürel faaliyetlere açılmasını istemiştir. Günümüzde Aspendos, tiyatro oyunlarının yanı sıra opera, konser ve festivallere ev sahipliği yapmaktadır.

Marcus Aurelius inspects the troops on the Capitol in Rome
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
A "humpty dumpty" was 18th-Century reduplicative slang for a short, clumsy person. Whereas a clumsy person falling off a wall would not be irreperably damaged, an egg would be.
Another origin goes as follows:-
According to an insert taken from the East Anglia Tourist Board in England, Humpty Dumpty was a powerful cannon during the English Civil War. It was mounted on top of the St Mary's at the Wall Church in Colchester defending the city against siege in the summer of 1648. Although Colchester was a Royalist stronghold, it besieged by the Roundheads for 11 weeks before finally falling. The church tower was hit by enemy cannon fire and the top of the tower was blown off, sending "Humpty" tumbling to the ground. Naturally all the King's horses and all the King's men (Royalist cavalry and infantry respectively) tried to mend "him" but in vain. Other reports have Humpty Dumpty referring to a sniper nicknamed One-Eyed Thompson, who occupied the same church tower.
