The Platonic Republic seemed utopian, the philosophy of Epicurus, which also had great dissemination, was disintegrating to society, Neoplatonism only influenced a few who had a tendency toward mysticism, Christianity was a religion that required faith and complete severance from the past.
The Stoic theory, as it evolved and reached Marcus Aurelius, maintained some connection with ancestral traditions and provided its followers with a theoretical basis of virtue, as well as practical guidance for its application, for the sake of the common good, of which the good of the individual is an inseparable part.
