One interesting guff in this clip is that the proconsul of Judaea, called Severus -- a Roman rank and a Roman name -- comes dressed like a Persian.

Aurelius feared that if he didn't there would be a civil war, His son also tried to "appear like he had changed" in order to deceive his father so he would choose him as successor.

[imperatorcaesar100]

one of the flaws of Marcus Auerlius was that he did not adopt a non relative as his sucessor as Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, and Antoninus Pius did.

[antoninus138]

Aurelius was a fool - he broke with convention by not giving the promise to not ARBITRARILY putting to death any senators and he made his son Ceasar in 165 - when Commodus and his twin were only 4 yrs old - and Augustus in 175. He therefore took a successor not from the state - such as Pompeianus - but out of foolishness his own worthless son. His love of country came second to his love of his son and thus Rome sufferred its first tyrant in 80 yrs and fell from then on.
