ro. It is true that the Christian apologist Justin, a contemporary of Marcus Aurelius (cf Andre Wartelle, SaintJustin, Apologies [Paris, 1987), pp. 3 1-32), at the beginning ofhis Apology, gives the title of"philosophers" to Marcus Aurelius and to Verus. Melito of Sardis, another apologist (cf Eusebius of Caesarea, Ecclesiastical History IV, 26, 7) associates Commodus with the philosophical repu tation of his ther, Marcus Aurelius. In both these cases, it was obviously because of Marcus that his associates were digni ed with this title. On the notion of "philosopher" in the Imperial period, see the excellent work by
J. Hahn, Der Philosoph und die Gesellsch (Stuttgart, 1 989) .

34. H. Gorgemanns ("Der Bekehrungsbrief Marc Aurels," pp. 102-108) shows that this description contains an allusion to the wrath of Achilles in the rst book of Homer's iad. The irony was intended by the young Marcus, in order to attenuate the pain he was in icting upon his teacher Fronto, by allow ing him to glimpse his growing love r philosophy.
