     Lucius Verus. 161-169 AD (Struck 162/3 AD). AR Denarius (3.38
     gm). Bare head right / Providentia holding globe and cornucopiae.
     RIC III 482; RSC 155. VF, well-centered, attractive portrat.
     712767.

     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.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,
