|Marcus| |Aurelius|, |Marcus| |Aurelius,| |7| |March| |161| |-| |17| |March| |180| |A.D.|, Marcus Aurelius was recognized by Hadrian, Antoninus Pius adopted him, and he married Antoninus' daughter, Faustina II.

Although known for adherence to Stoicism and as naturally peaceful, his reign was disturbed by war with Parthia, plague and a long, hard war on the Danube frontier.
