Marcus Aurelius never wrote his private journals expecting the world to read them thousands of years later. He was simply trying to make sense of life, leadership, and his own thoughts. And the funny thing? He probably wouldn’t even want the fame he has today. He saw leadership as a duty, not a way to glorify himself. Maybe that’s exactly why his words still matter today. Share this with someone who loves history and follow for more stories from the ancient world! @MRitland

On New Year’s Eve, 406 AD, barbarian tribes walked across one of the most secure frontiers in the Roman Empire and Rome never got it back. The whole thread is about what made that possible.

7/ On December 31, 406 AD, the Vandals, Alans, and Suebi crossed the Rhine near Mainz. Prosper of Aquitaine recorded the date precisely, the day before the Kalends of January. It was one of the most secure frontiers in the empire. (Prosper, Chronicle, s.a. 406)
