Quotes
- “The monstrous vices of his son have overshadowed the splendor of his father's virtues. Marcus Aurelius has been reproached for having chosen a successor rather from his family than from the Republic, and sacrificing the happiness of millions of men to his excessive tenderness for an unworthy boy.”
- “Commodus is a man without morality, you have known this since you were a boy... Commodus cannot govern, he absolutely must not govern.”
- “The young emperor proclaimed a series of performances to commemorate his father, Marcus Aurelius; I find it funny since it was Marcus Aurelius, the wise, the knowledgeable Marcus Aurelius who interrupted the games.”
