| | If Marcus Aurelius saw in his empire the union of the people of the civilized world, then the Christians were dangerous extremists who sought to undermine this union for the sake of their own religious beliefs. | | | As Marcus Aurelius fell ill when was fighting on campaign on the Danube, a false rumour appeared to have emerged which announced he was dead. | | | Then, with Commodus alongside him, Marcus Aurelius toured the east of the empire, where Cassius revolt had arisen. |

| | As Tertullian said, "The blood of the martyrs are seed." Marcus Aurelius heartily disliked Christians, possibly because he thought of them as undermining the structure of civilization which he was laboring to maintain against domestic and foreign threats. | | | This persecution also spread to Gaul, and the blood of Christians reddened the water of the river Rhone. | | | Marcus Aurelius embraced the rigid system of the Stoics, which taught him to submit his body to his mind, his passions to his reason; to consider virtue as the only good, vice as the only evil, all things external as things indifferent. |
