Read the full account

In 1916 C. R. Haines’s Loeb Marcus made Greek and English facing pages a standard school and library object.

Context

Loeb access is a 20th-century teaching path. It is not a Danube autograph.

Marcus Aurelius is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

A facing-page book can teach and can also sentimentalise an emperor.

Who was responsible

    Dated act under Marcus as emperor or as later printed subject. Scribes, heirs, editors, and museums share labour.
