Reviews

"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
