"A superb graphic novel that provides stunning insights into one of
the most interesting figures of antiquity, as well as into the
philosophy that guided him throughout his life." --Massimo
Pigliucci, author of How to Be a Stoic
"Donald Robertson is one of my favorite writers about Stoicism."
--Ryan Holiday, #1 New York Times bestselling author and founder of
The Daily Stoic "Verissimus represents the vanguard of the next
phase of the ongoing Stoic renaissance." --William B. Irvine,
author of A Guide to the Good Life "A remarkable work that is
awesome in its conception and execution." --Karen Duffy, author of
Backbone "Whether you're new to Marcus Aurelius or already know him
as a friend and guide, this graphic 'novel' will open your eyes.
The book truly makes him a three-dimensional person, not just the
writer of Meditations. Author and artist have found - invented, I
might say - a brilliant combination of entertainment and
education." --Robin Waterfield, translator of Marcus Aurelius and
Epictetus "Superb rendering of Marcus' action-filled life and
times. Readers are in safe hands knowing the text comes from Stoic
philosophy expert Donald Robertson. Don't be fooled by the graphic
nature of this book, you will learn a lot - and be inspired at the
same time." --Tom Butler-Bowdon, author of the 50 Classics series
