Claudia Severa. From wiki….”Claudia Severa (born 11 September in first century, fl. 97–105)[1] was a literate Roman woman, the wife of Aelius Brocchus, commander of an unidentified fort near Vindolanda fort in northern England.[2] She is known for a birthday invitation she sent around 100 AD to Sulpicia Lepidina, wife of Flavius Cerialis, commander at Vindolanda. This invitation, written in ink on a thin wooden tablet, was discovered in the 1970s and is probably the best-known item of the Vindolanda Tablets.…”

Marcus Aurelius

He was the last of the rulers known as the Five Good Emperors, and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD

He was a dedicated student, learning Latin and Greek. But his greatest intellectual interest was Stoicism, a philosophy that emphasized fate, reason, and self-restraint.

"A fellow Stoic ?"

Certainly an interest of mine, as well as the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, who was also a proponent of Stoicism. I resonate with the understanding that life is suffering, and the best we can hope for is the absence of pain.

I'm taken with the need to reflect.

Preparation that things might be a bit shit.

And not worrying about things you have no influence over.

Its good stuff.

I much prefer the history of the non famous. It’s more realistic and makes for a more relateable connection.
