Apology to Marcus Aurelius
Melito’s only mostly extant work, his Apology to Marcus Aurelius, addressed to his then contemporary Roman emperor, was written sometime in the years AD 169–170. Aurelius succeeded Antoninus Pius, co-reigning with Lucius Verus; thus, Melito’s Apology comes under the very next emperor’s reign after the time when Justin Martyr wrote, only 13 or so years earlier.
