'''Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus''' ([[26 April]] [[121]] – [[17 Maret]] [[180]]) adalah [[Kaisar Romawi]] dari [[161]] sampai kematiannya 180. Dia dilahirkan dengan nama '''Marcus Annius Catilius Severus''', dan pada pernikahan dia mengambil nama '''Marcus Annius Verus'''. Ketika naik takhta sebagai kaisar, ia diberikan nama '''Marcus Aurelius Antoninus'''. Dia merupakan kaisar terakhir dari [[Lima Kaisar Baik]]. |

Selain sebagai seorang kaisar, Marcus Aurelius juga seorang filsuf yang bijak. Beliau menuangkan pemikiran-pemikirannya dalam memoir yang kemudian dijadikan sebuah buku berjudul ''Meditations.'' |

Marcus Aurelius adalah kemenakan [[Antoninus Pius]] dan anak ipar laki-laki [[Hadrianus]]. Karenanya, ketika anak angkat pertama Hadrianus, [[Lucius Aelius|Aelius Verus]] meninggal dunia, [[Hadrianus]] membuat prasyarat kepada pengantinya agar Antoninus mengadopsi Marcus (saat itu namanya Marcus Annius Verus) dan [[Lucius Verus]] (anak laki-laki Aelius Verus), dan mengatur agar mereka menjadi calon penggantinya. Ia menjadi Kaisar Romawi pada 161 M dan mangkat pada 19 tahun kemudian. |

Antoninus melakukan hal ini, mengadopsi, dan menetapkan mereka sebagai calon-calon penggantinya pada [[25 Februari]] [[138]], ketika Marcus baru berusia 17 tahun. |

Ketika Antoninus meninggal dunia pada [[7 Maret]] [[161]], Marcus menerima takhta dengan syarat bahwa ia dan Verus diangkat sebagai kaisar bersama (''[[Augustus|Augusti]]''), dengan Verus yang kedudukannya sedikit lebih rendah. Ini sebagian disebabkan karena mereka sama-sama pewaris Antoninus. |

Suksesi bersama ini juga mungkin dimotivasi tuntutan-tuntutan militer karena, selama pemerintahannya, Marcus Aurelius hampir terus-menerus berperang dengan berbagai penduduk di luar kekaisaran. Seorang tokoh yang sangat berwibawa dibutukan untuk mengomandoi pasukan-pasukan, namun kaisar sendiri tidak dapat mempertahankan front Jerman dan Parthia pada saat yang bersamaan. Ia pun tidak dapat begitu saja menunjuk seorang jenderal untuk memimpin [[legiun Romawi|legiun]]-legiun. Para pemimpin militer populer sebelumnya seperti [[Julius Caesar]] dan [[Vespasianus]] pernah menggunakan militer untuk menggulingkan pemerintahan yang ada dan mengangkat diri mereka sebagai pemimpin tertinggi. Marcus Aurelius memecahkan masalahnya dengan mengutus Verus untuk memimpin legiun-legiun di timur. Ia cukup berwibawa untuk mendapatkan kesetiaan penuh dari pasukan-pasukannya, tetapi juga cukup kuat sehingga ia hanya membutuhkan sedikit insentif untuk menggulingkan Marcus. Rencana ini berhasil—Verus tetap setia kepadanya hingga kematiannya dalam peperangan pada [[169]]. |

<!--===Writings=== |
|||
While on campaign between 170 and 180, Aurelius wrote his ''[[Meditations]]'' as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. He had been a priest at the sacrificial altars of Roman service and was an eager patriot. He had a logical mind though his notes were representative of [[Stoicism|Stoic]] philosophy and spirituality. ''[[Meditations]]'' is still revered as a literary monument to a government of service and duty. It has been praised for its "exquisite accent and its infinite tenderness" and "saintliness" being called the "gospel of his life." They have been compared by [[John Stuart Mill]] in his ''[[Utility of Religion]]'' to the [[Sermon on the Mount]]. |
|||
The book itself was first published in 1558 in Zurich, from a manuscript copy that is now lost. The only other surviving complete copy of the manuscript is in the Vatican library. |

===Contacts with China=== |

|||
===Death=== |
|||
Marcus Aurelius died on [[March 17]] [[180]] during the expedition against the [[Marcomanni]] and [[Quadi]] in the city of Vindobona (modern [[Vienna]]). His ashes were returned to [[Rome]] and rest in [[Hadrian]]'s [[mausoleum]] (modern [[Castel Sant'Angelo]]). He was also commemorated by a [[Column of Marcus Aurelius|column]] in [[Rome]]. |
|||
===Succession and historical legacy=== |
|||
He was able to secure the succession for his son [[Commodus]], whom he made co-emperor in his own lifetime (in [[177]]), though the choice may have been unknowingly unfortunate. Commodus was a political and military outsider, as well as an extreme egotist. Many historians believe that the decline of Rome began under Commodus. For this reason, Aurelius' death is often held to have been the end of the ''[[Pax Romana]]''. |
|||
==Depictions in art and modern popular culture== |
|||
===Ancient art=== |
|||
[[Berkas:50ec_ita.png|thumb|right|Italian Euro coin depicting Marcus Aurelius sculpture on Capitoline Hill.]] |
|||
A well preserved [[bronze]] [[equestrian sculpture]] of Marcus Aurelius, which, during the [[Middle Ages]], had stood in the [[Lateran Palace]] in Rome, was relocated in [[1538]] to the [[Piazza del Campidoglio]] ([[Capitoline Hill]]). Currently, the original is on display in an exhibition room designed especially for this purpose in the [[Palazzo dei Conservatori]] of the [[Musei Capitolini]], while a copy has replaced it in the square. |
|||
It was standard practice to melt down bronze statues for reuse as coin or new sculptures |
|||
(eg in the late empire, following Rome's conversion to Christianity, to make new statues for the new [[Christianity |Christian]] [[church]]es), and that is why so few bronze statues, let alone statues of emperors, survive. The reason this one was not melted down was that, when in late antiquity or the early medieval period its turn came, it was incorrectly thought to portray the 'christianising' Emperor [[Constantine I (emperor)|Constantine]]. Indeed, it is the only fully surviving bronze statue of a pre-Christian Roman emperor and so survived. |
|||
According to accounts from [[medieval]] times, a small figure of a bound [[barbarian]] chieftain once crouched underneath the horse's front right leg. In addition, it was one of the few Roman statues to remain on public view during the Middle Ages. Such an image was meant to portray the Emperor as an always victorious all-conquering lord of the earth. However, shown without weapons or armor, Marcus Aurelius seems to be a bringer of peace rather than a military hero, for this is how he saw himself and his reign. |
|||
This statue is such a trademark image that it is the subject of a €0.50 [[Italian euro coins|Italian euro coin]] designed by [[Roberto Mauri]]. |

==Marriage and issue== |

Aurelius married [[Faustina the Younger]] in [[145]]. During their 30-year marriage Faustina bore thirteen children, most notably, his son [[Commodus]] who would become later Emperor, and his daughter [[Lucilla]], who was wed to Lucius Verus to solidify his alliance with Marcus Aurelius. |

Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (26 April 121 – 17 Maret 180) adalah Kaisar Romawi dari 161 sampai kematiannya 180. Dia dilahirkan dengan nama Marcus Annius Catilius Severus, dan pada pernikahan dia mengambil nama Marcus Annius Verus. Ketika naik takhta sebagai kaisar, ia diberikan nama Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. Dia merupakan kaisar terakhir dari Lima Kaisar Baik.
Selain sebagai seorang kaisar, Marcus Aurelius juga seorang filsuf yang bijak. Beliau menuangkan pemikiran-pemikirannya dalam memoir yang kemudian dijadikan sebuah buku berjudul Meditations.
Kehidupan
[sunting | sunting sumber]Diadopsi oleh Antoninus
[sunting | sunting sumber]Marcus Aurelius adalah kemenakan Antoninus Pius dan anak ipar laki-laki Hadrianus. Karenanya, ketika anak angkat pertama Hadrianus, Aelius Verus meninggal dunia, Hadrianus membuat prasyarat kepada pengantinya agar Antoninus mengadopsi Marcus (saat itu namanya Marcus Annius Verus) dan Lucius Verus (anak laki-laki Aelius Verus), dan mengatur agar mereka menjadi calon penggantinya. Ia menjadi Kaisar Romawi pada 161 M dan mangkat pada 19 tahun kemudian.
Antoninus melakukan hal ini, mengadopsi, dan menetapkan mereka sebagai calon-calon penggantinya pada 25 Februari 138, ketika Marcus baru berusia 17 tahun.

Menjadi kaisar bersama
[sunting | sunting sumber]Ketika Antoninus meninggal dunia pada 7 Maret 161, Marcus menerima takhta dengan syarat bahwa ia dan Verus diangkat sebagai kaisar bersama (Augusti), dengan Verus yang kedudukannya sedikit lebih rendah. Ini sebagian disebabkan karena mereka sama-sama pewaris Antoninus.
Suksesi bersama ini juga mungkin dimotivasi tuntutan-tuntutan militer karena, selama pemerintahannya, Marcus Aurelius hampir terus-menerus berperang dengan berbagai penduduk di luar kekaisaran. Seorang tokoh yang sangat berwibawa dibutukan untuk mengomandoi pasukan-pasukan, namun kaisar sendiri tidak dapat mempertahankan front Jerman dan Parthia pada saat yang bersamaan. Ia pun tidak dapat begitu saja menunjuk seorang jenderal untuk memimpin legiun-legiun. Para pemimpin militer populer sebelumnya seperti Julius Caesar dan Vespasianus pernah menggunakan militer untuk menggulingkan pemerintahan yang ada dan mengangkat diri mereka sebagai pemimpin tertinggi. Marcus Aurelius memecahkan masalahnya dengan mengutus Verus untuk memimpin legiun-legiun di timur. Ia cukup berwibawa untuk mendapatkan kesetiaan penuh dari pasukan-pasukannya, tetapi juga cukup kuat sehingga ia hanya membutuhkan sedikit insentif untuk menggulingkan Marcus. Rencana ini berhasil—Verus tetap setia kepadanya hingga kematiannya dalam peperangan pada 169.

Pemerintahan bersama sebagai kaisar ini sedikit mengingatkan akan sistem politik dari Republik Romawi, yang berfungsi sesuai dengan prinsip kerekanan dan tidak membiarkan seseorang memiliki kekuasaan tertinggi. Pemerintahan bersama ini dihidupkan kembali ketika Diocletianus menciptakan Tetrarki pada akhir abad ke-3.
Peperangan Aurelius
[sunting | sunting sumber]Jerman dan Donau
[sunting | sunting sumber]Suku-suku Jermanik dan banyak bangsa lain pernah melakukan banyak serangan di sepanjang perbatasan Utara, khususnya ke Gaul dan menyeberangi Donau— bangsa-bangsa Jerman, pada gilirannya, mungkin pernah diserang oleh suku-suku yang suka berperang jauh di timur. Peperangannya melawan mereka diperingati pada Tiang Marcus Aurelius.
Parthia
[sunting | sunting sumber]Di Asia, sebuah Kekaisaran Parthia yang bangkit kembali, melakukan serangan baru. Marcus Aurelius mengutus rekan kaisarnya, Verus, untuk memimpin legiun-legiun di timur untuk menghadapi ancaman ini. Ketika kembali dari peperangan dengan kemenangan, Verus dianugerahi dengan kejayaan; arak-arakan itu tidak lazim karena mengikutsertakan Verus, Marcus Aurelius, anak-anak lelaki mereka, dan anak-anak perempuan mereka yang belum menikah, sebagai sebuah perayaan besar keluarga.
