Thereby the empire “from which many traditional understandings of empire derive” and which has been the model of which Czar’s, Kayser’s, and Kaiser's built their empires upon has been greatly separated from the reality. Similar to the interpretation of Roman art and architecture by neoclassical movements, these emperors looked at veneers washed by the sands of time. Just as the paint formally adoring Roman statues and buildings gave way to polished marble, The Roman Empire’s model of empire has been brought to a high sheen by history. Truly romanticising the characteristic Roman expansion into an ideal rather than the destructive force behind the fall of an empire.

I'm new to /lit/, what is your opinion on Marcus Aurelius?
