These notes, written originally in Greek, would be the basis for how he could improve himself and his stature amongst his peer, and how he would conduct himself in the world. After his death, these notes were collected to form one volume titled \u003cem\u003eMeditations.\u003c\/em\u003e Separated into twelve chapters, Marcus Aurelius's famous philosophical work provides a clear insight into the stoic philosophy that was prevalent during the Roman Empire.
