Aurelius, the Unknown

We know Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor who wrote the beloved Meditations. Meditations was written during the last decade of his life. What do we know about the rest of his life?

• What did he do with his inheritance?
• Was he romantically involved with his rhetoric teacher?
• What did he write about in his nearly 90 letters to Fronto?
• How did he react when people suggested that he should divorce his wife?
• What did he do when he learned that Cassius was rebelling against him?
• What were his instructions to the Assembly when he learned that Christians were being persecuted?
• Was he as forgiving in his life as he says one should in his Meditations?
• What were his last words?
