    This is one of the most realistic recreations of a historical figure I had seen. He looks very much like his statues.Marcus Aurelius was a philosopher so no wonder he was a good and caring Emperor. The plague pandemic must had been truly horrific event with catastrophic repercussions on Rome. I can’t imagine , considering the times they lived in, the horror and suffering they went trough .

    • @RoyaltyNowStudios

    • @annastevens1526
      @annastevens1526 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Absolutely! To have been landed with such responsibilities when he just wanted to lead a contemplative life, having to deal with sharing power with a seemingly fairly feckless adopted brother, and then to support the Roman's through such a horrific period in their history whilst also mourning his own deep family losses... I must admit the historical narration on this one brought me to tears. I'm glad his personal philosophy helped him to cope - as it seems to have helped many others since! - but I can't help feeling great compassion for what he experienced.

  • @chipkornrumpf6318
    @chipkornrumpf6318 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I've learned a good bit about Marcus Aurelius from Roman History and documentaries. I've also read most of his Meditations. It's hard for anyone in the current times to fully understand the magnificence of Marcus, the strength and intelligence he possessed in times of brutal wars, brutal politics, and of course the horrific plague that devastated much of Rome for years. With the known world on his shoulders he remained one of the if not the best ruler of Rome. His inner philosopher and stoicism probably saved his sanity more than once and I would argue if alive today would make an amazing leader of people. It's sad how many generations like the younger ones around today have not only no appreciation for history and people like Marcus, but are taught to hate and destroy all positive and constructive things that came before them. Man's greatest flaw seems to be somewhat cyclic... to forget the lessons and wisdoms of the past. The physical recreation after the brief but well presented summary of his life gives a bit of special connection to him. Much appreciated.

  • @CherriesJubilee
    @CherriesJubilee 2 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    I really enjoyed the sympathetic way you portrayed this man's history. His great mistake was Commodus, but really, what other choices did he have? He is my favorite emperor, as much for his compassion as his self restraint. I think you did a very good job of showing what he might have looked like.

  • @Eazy-ERyder
    @Eazy-ERyder 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Marcus had aLOT to contend with and was a man of MANY traits. He wasn't JUST this aloof, stoic philosopher but a Warrior and active protector of his people who helped to fight domestic catastrophes like famine and the Antonine plague, as well as outside and foreign invasions.

    I remember visiting Italy many years ago and going to various museums all over the country. After some time you start to get familiar with the famous busts of the emperors and you start to easily recognize them. Marcus Aurelius in particular with his curly hair, and I remember seeing some of him at different ages. I had always wished someone would paint a cast of those busts so we could see what they look like, very happy to see that rendered here.

  • @wannabeimperator
    @wannabeimperator ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What I suspect Christians feel when they think about Jesus is what I feel when I think about Marcus. He's almost like a demi-God to me, maybe that is because he was so in touch with his "fragment of divinity", as he calls it. Whenever I feel a task is too great for me or my irrational emotions are taking control, all I have to do is summon him to my consciousness, remember him, and feel the love that is in his philosophy, and it makes everything so much easier to handle. I'm so immensely thankful for him and that his written texts have survived. Looking at his reconstructed face at the end made me tear up a bit. He just looks so kind and virtuous and there's a light shining from him like he is the sun itself. Thank you so much!

    This presentation could well be described as being between time travel and One's life review in the hereafter.

    I absolutely loved the in depth history of Marcus ! I would adore longer videos with more history leading up to the main event as it really helps to set the scene !

    I didn't know his story and it really impressed me. He was a remarcable man and you can see that in his eyes, as he is portrayed by Royalty Now Studios. Great job!

    I've now watched several of your videos and am absolutely blown away! The narration is superb, and the stories of these famous people are so interesting. But the real fascinating moments are the recreations - bringing these souls to life! They are beautiful and haunting at the same time. Thank you so much for your wonderful work - just amazing!

    One may say, the fact that Marcus despised being a leader, is what made him such a great one. His desires did not lie in power and control, only knowledge and the betterment of self and man.
    My dad and I often tease that politicians should never be those who want power to lead, but be unwilling good people. Much like Marcus!

    Thank you so much! I love Roamn history and have been interested in Marcus Aurelius. A number of months ago I found his bok, Meditations, which I regret, I didn't buy. He's such a fascinating man! I really loved how you pictured him and his aging. Thank you again for such great work!

      Your historical summary is among the best I’ve seen for comparable length and detail. What fascinates me is that he was born into exulted circumstances yet remained grounded and humble. What a contrast to his adopted brother Lucius.
      Is there any record of how Lucius and Marcus died?
