The rule of Marcus Aurelius.

During his rule, he made a number of progressive social reforms which included laws changing the positions of women and slaves in the Roman society, giving them more rights and protections. Social mobility continued to increase, he auctioned off many of the palace’s valuables to prepare for the northern wars, and by recognising other religions, he did not create any laws affecting the Christians, although they were still largely seen as scapegoats.

He spent a great deal of time travelling throughout the Roman Empire, and dealt with the rising social unrest in the East and from the German tribes. However, this unrest was what contributed to the future downfall of the Roman Empire.
