I actually had no clue about thus guy. He seems to have done a lot for the Empire, and for once didn’t massacre everyone around the borders. Thanks for highlighting him out :)
Always! 20+ years of peace and prosperity by a man of great humility may not excite the ancient gossipers, but the ‘mildness of Antoninus’ was fondly remembered by those who lived under his rule.
Also, he hit the holy trinity of fiscal responsibility. Reduced taxes, increased spending, and still reduced the deficit. That’s like hitting three 7s on a slot machine.
