Representation
Head of Lucius Aurelius Verus (Rome, December 15, 130 – Altinum, January 23, 169), commonly known as Lucius Verus, co-emperor with Marcus Aurelius, from the year 161 until the moment of his death. Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius were adoptees of Antoninus Pius.
Verus was the son of Avidia, daughter of the consul Gaius Avidius Nigrinus, and of Lucius Elio Caesar, adopted son, and the expected successor of Emperor Hadrian. When Elio Caesar died in 138, Hadrian chose Antoninus Pius as his successor, on the condition that Antoninus would adopt both Verus (then 7 years old) and Marcus Aurelius, Hadrian’s nephew. As heir apparent, Verus received a refined education from the most renowned grammaticus. It is known that Verus was an excellent student, with interests such as poetry and delivered speeches. info: Wikipedia
