Question

which of the following greek beliefs was also held by marcus aurelius? justice is based on laws, and it must bow to the law. men and slaves are equals because they both belong to nature. bravery and strength in battle were expressions of loyalty to the state. architectural buildings should primarily be built to honor the gods.

Explanation:

Marcus Aurelius was a Stoic philosopher-emperor. Stoicism, rooted in Greek philosophy, held that all humans (including slaves) share a rational nature, making them fundamentally equal. The other options do not align with his Stoic beliefs: he viewed justice as aligned with natural reason (not just human law), his focus was not on battle loyalty as a core virtue, and he did not center architectural purpose on honoring gods.

Answer:

B. Men and slaves are equals because they both belong to nature.
