     Lucius Verus. 161-169 AD. AR Denarius (3.46 gm). Struck 165-169
     AD. Bare head right / Armenia seated left in attitude of
     mourning. RIC III 501; BMCRE 239; RSC 6. VF. 715507

     Lucius Verus, joint Emperor with Marcus Aurelius, was the son of
     Hadrian's first intended successor, Aelius Caesar, who died
     before he could assume the throne. Verus was a handsome,
     fun-loving chap who did not take well to the burdens of
     government. In 162, he marched off to war against the Parthians,
     only to spend most of his time wallowing in the fleshpots of
     Antioch while his generals and armies did the fighting. He seems
     to have had a good heart, though, and was well-loved by the Roman
     people. His premature death of a stroke was greeted with sincere
     universal mourning. Marcus Aurelius' son Commodus seems to have
     modeled his pleasure-loving personality on that of Verus, rather
     than on his stoical father, though he utterly lacked Verus' noble
     character and heart.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.
