Stoicism had its beginning in Athens (300 BCE), spread throughout ancient Greece, and went on to became the predominate philosophical school of the Roman empire. In 529 CE the Emperor Justinian I ordered all the schools of philosophy closed, bring the Stoic school to a formal end; but it has continued as an influence through surviving texts, and is today receiving renewed interest.
