Imagine facing a global crisis without modern technology or medicine, with an empire’s fate in your hands. This was Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius’s reality during the Antonine Plague of 165 AD. His leadership offers surprising insights for today’s turbulent times.
During the devastating plague, Marcus:
- Remained in Rome, showing solidarity with his people
- Communicated transparently and took decisive action
- Balanced faith and reason in his approach
- Demonstrated compassion and equality in crisis response
- Addressed economic challenges head-on
- Used Stoic philosophy to guide himself and his people
His example inspires us to show up daily, face life’s challenges with wisdom and resilience, and become people of substance and influence.
