Marcus Aurelius (Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; 121 – 180), born Marcus Annius Catilius Severus, was Roman Emperor from 161 to his death.
Shortly after Aurelius came to power, the British Hidden Ones made motions towards him to broker peace in the region. Aurelius agreed to cease hostilities and retreat south from Antonine Wall to the more easily defensible Hadrian's Wall. Although the Hidden Ones trusted Aurelius to abide by the deal, they sent magister Eghan to oversee the retreat in order to verify that Aurelius kept his word.[1]
In honor of him, the Column of Marcus Aurelius was built, which would later serve as inspiration for the Column of Marcian.[2] The Pons Aurelius was also named for him, and would be used as the foundation for the Ponte Sisto.[3]
In 2012, he was included in a mnemonic set in Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy.[4]
