For emperor-philosopher Marcus Aurelius, the world is a theater with its masquerade of ephemerical actions, emotions, and roles to play. As a Stoic philosopher, he feels a deep contempt toward that world, but as an emperor, he must engage in it. Stoicism provides him an answer to that problem - a perfect moral intention, which - in the form of love to humankind - joins together his philosophical attitude and political action.

In his paper the author deals with the two most important problems of the rain miracle during Marcus Aurelius’ campaign against the Quadi: where and when did it happen. After examining the written sources (esp. the accounts of Cassius Dio, the vita Marci of the Historia Augusta, Tertullianus and Eusebius and Marcus Aurelius’ forged letter) and the depictions of the Antonine Column in Rome (scenes XI and XVI), the author comes to the conclusion that there were two miracles (lightning and rain miracles: the former one in the presence of the emperor) the year could be 172 AD (but 171 cannot be excluded either) and the miracle happened probably in the borders of the Quadi and the Cotini.

A comparison between archaeological well documented Roman Army swords of the 1st and otherwise of the 3rd century AD reveals clear differences in their kind of blades as well as in the designs of the hilts and scabbards. The present paper deals with the question, when and in which way the alterations took place during the 2nd century AD. Important clues for a serious scientific evaluation are thereby the archaeological small finds from the period of the Marcomannic Wars (AD 166–180) as well as the presented weapons on the reliefs of Traian’s Column (AD 113) in contrast to that on the Column of Marcus Aurelius (AD 179–183).
