Meditations — Page 5
Avidius Cassius, an able captain who had won renown in the Parthian wars, was at this time chief governor of the eastern provinces.
아비디우스 카시우스는 파르티아 전쟁에서 명성을 얻은 유능한 장군으로, 당시 동부 속주들의 수석 총독이었다.
By whatever means induced, he had conceived the project of proclaiming himself emperor as soon as Marcus, who was then in feeble health, should die; and a report having been conveyed to him that Marcus was dead, Cassius did as he had planned.
어떤 수단으로 부추겨졌든 간에, 그는 당시 건강이 좋지 않던 마르쿠스가 죽는 즉시 스스로 황제를 선포하려는 계획을 품고 있었다. 그리고 마르쿠스가 죽었다는 소식이 그에게 전해지자, 카시우스는 계획한 대로 행동했다.
Marcus, on hearing the news, immediately patched up a peace and returned home to meet this new peril.
마르쿠스는 그 소식을 듣고 즉시 서둘러 화의를 맺고 이 새로운 위험에 맞서기 위해 귀환하였다.
The emperors great grief was that he must needs engage in the horrors of civil strife.
황제의 큰 슬픔은 내전의 참화에 어쩔 수 없이 휘말려야 한다는 것이었다.
He praised the qualities of Cassius, and expressed a heartfelt wish that Cassius might not be driven to do himself a hurt before he should have the opportunity to grant a free pardon.
그는 카시우스의 자질을 칭찬하며, 자신이 사면을 베풀 기회를 갖기 전에 카시우스가 스스로를 해치는 일이 없기를 진심으로 바란다고 표명하였다.
But before he could come to the east news had come to Cassius that the emperor still lived; his followers fell away from him, and he was assassinated.
그러나 황제가 동쪽에 도착하기 전에, 황제가 아직 살아 있다는 소식이 카시우스에게 전해졌고, 그의 추종자들은 그를 떠나버렸으며 그는 암살당하고 말았다.
Marcus now went to the east, and while there the murderers brought the head of Cassius to him; but the emperor indignantly refused their gift, nor would he admit the men to his presence.
마르쿠스는 이제 동쪽으로 갔고, 그곳에 있는 동안 암살자들이 카시우스의 머리를 그에게 가져왔다. 그러나 황제는 분개하며 그들의 선물을 거절하였고, 그 자들을 자신의 앞에 들이려 하지도 않았다.
On this journey his wife, Faustina, died.
이 여정 중에 그의 아내 파우스티나가 세상을 떠났다.
At his return the emperor celebrated a triumph (176).
귀환 후 황제는 개선식을 거행하였다 (176년).
Immediately afterwards he repaired to Germany, and took up once more the burden of war.
그 직후 그는 게르마니아로 떠나 다시 한번 전쟁의 짐을 짊어졌다.
