Fun fact: Speaking of Marcus Aurelius, the Dokuha manga adaptation of his book “Meditations” magnificently depicted the Emperor’s life from his youth as a student of Stoicism to his death in Pannonnia. Something really good about that manga was how it reduced the sensationalism and the black legend when it came to depicting Commodus (who is represented here as a normal boy and not as a madman who believes himself to be Hercules reincarnated) and Faustina (who dies of old age and being a faithful wife instead of being killed by her husband for betraying him in order to crown a general)

What a huge fallacy to think Rome was “center of universe” when considering during this time (1st~4th Century CE), Rome for the first time had a huge influence from Parthia (Ancient Iran) to the point that Romans bastardized even Ancient Iranian religious beliefs into cults (Mithras). Not only that it was during the Parthian dynasty that the Silk Route was well established and literally connected the entirety of the “ old world “. Orientalist are obsessed with this idea when it is contrary to the evidence….

‘Golden Age’ where blood sacrifice and violent killings of poverty stricken citizens was a great way of entertainment for the noble and wealthy class. Goes to show the Western civilization is a disgrace on planet Earth.
