Hmmm.... Marcus Aurelius "made" the Cam. *MEDIEVAL* History ? - I woulda guessed "Late Classical" I know, I know periodization always fades off into somewhat arbitrary boundary choices. But that's pushing it some. Last great Roman Emperor? Finest book ever by a major political figure anywhere anytime? Yet quickly and almost totally forgotten - the Meditations, at least - until the Renaissance re-discovered him. Another reason to be surprised to bump into him in a survey of Medieval History, Great Stack!
