I’ve been writing on Medium for just over 2 years now since it was recommended to me by one of my friends, a bestselling author. I’ve now published well over 100 articles on Stoicism there, have over 21k followers, and became one of the top 1,000 authors on the platform. I also founded my own online publication hosted by Medium, called Stoicism – Philosophy as a Way of Life, which has published nearly 500 articles on Stoicism from dozens of writers, ranging from newcomers to well-known authors. You can follow it on Medium or sign up to receive its email newsletter.

How the Stoic Roman Emperor got his nickname
You’ve probably heard of Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher. He’s the author of The Meditations, one of the most popular self-improvement classics of all time. Even if you’ve not read that book, maybe you saw Richard Harris playing him in the first act of the Russell Crowe movie Gladiator (2000).
Did you know that Marcus was also called Verissimus, though? This name means “most true” in Latin and it seems to have caught on, in part, because it naturally fitted his reputation as a philosopher, and a lover of wisdom.
