520    "In the tradition of Logicomix, Donald J. Robertson's 
       Verissimus is a riveting graphic novel on the life and 
       stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius was 
       the last famous Stoic of antiquity but he was also to 
       become the most powerful man in the known world - the 
       Roman emperor. After losing his father at an early age, he
       threw himself into the study of philosophy. The closest 
       thing history knew to a philosopher-king, yet constant 
       warfare and an accursed plague almost brought his empire 
       to its knees. "Life is warfare", he wrote, "and a sojourn 
       in foreign land!" One thing alone could save him: 
       philosophy, the love of wisdom! The remarkable story of 
       Marcus Aurelius' life and philosophical journey is brought
       to life by philosopher and psychotherapist Donald J. 
       Robertson, in a sweeping historical epic of a graphic 
       novel, based on a close study of the historical evidence, 
       with the stunning full-color artwork of award-winning 
       illustrator Zé Nuno Fraga"--|cProvided by publisher.
