Description

A superb 19th century bronze bust of the emperor Lucius Verus (130-169 AD).

Lucius Verus (130–169 AD) was Roman emperor from 161 to 169, ruling jointly with his adoptive brother Marcus Aurelius. Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius were the first co-emperors with equal constitutional status in Roman history. To strengthen ties, Marcus Aurelius married his daughter, Lucilla, to Lucius in 164 AD. As part of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty, he took charge of military campaigns, including a successful war against Parthia. His reign was marked by the rise of the Antonine Plague, brought back by his troops, and his sudden death aged 39 in 169.

The bust is crisply cast and in an excellent condition throughout.
