The period of Marcus Aurelius’ reign was one of wars. There was a war against the resurgent and aggressive Persians (160-166) which was fought by various generals. From 166 to 180 there were the Marcomannic Wars. T he Marcomanni, a Germanic people from Bohemia who crossed the frontier of the river Danube and, together with the Lombards and other Germanics, raided areas of the Balkan Peninsula. Marcus Aurelius managed to push them back. However, the Marcomanni and Quadi then attacked northeast Italy and at the same time the Costoboci from Northern Romania invaded the lower Danube, Macedonia and Greece. Marcus Aurelius managed to push them all back after a long struggle. Then he crossed the Danube, won a decisive victory and planned to invade Bohemia. However, he fell ill and died in 180.

Why was Emperor Marcus Aurelius - such a refined civilized man - so harsh in his treatment of Christians?
The extent to which Marcus Aurelius directed, encouraged, or was aware of Christan persecutions is unclear. During his reign the number of persecutions in various areas of the empire seems to have increased. However, in this period it was the local officials who dealt with the Christians and it was them who were responsible for persecutions. They often acted independently. The emperors saw Christianity as a local issue to be dealt with by the local officials. There was no imperial policy with regard to Christianity
