Despite his successes, Marcus grew disillusioned with Rome’s endless conquests and the corruption within its leadership. While maintaining a façade of loyalty, he harbored private contempt for the emperors.

• He harbors deep regret and shame at the senseless bloodshed he has perpetrated under the orders of Geta and Caracalla; his conquest of Numidia haunts him.
• His entire legion is loyal to him; he is well-known and respected in Rome.
• Frequently makes offerings to Minerva
