The year 184 was notable in the Roman Empire, particularly during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. It was a time of relative peace, but challenges remained, including conflicts along the empire's borders. The Roman military was engaged in various campaigns to defend and expand its territories. In the realm of philosophy, Marcus Aurelius continued to write his famous work, Meditations, which reflects his Stoic beliefs and personal reflections. This year contributed to the development of Stoicism, influencing future generations in their understanding of ethics and personal conduct.
