Representation
Head of Lucius Aurelius Verus (Rome, December 15, 130 – Altinum, January 23, 169), commonly known as Lucius Verus, Roman co-emperor alongside Marcus Aurelius from 161 until his death. Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius were adoptive sons of Antoninus Pius.
Verus was the son of Avidia, daughter of the consul Gaius Avidius Nigrinus, and Lucius Aelius Caesar, Hadrian’s adopted son and intended successor. When Aelius Caesar died in 138, Hadrian chose Antoninus Pius as his successor, on the condition that Antoninus adopt both Verus (then 7 years old) and Marcus Aurelius, Hadrian’s nephew. As an imperial prince, Verus received a meticulous education from the most renowned grammaticus. Verus is known to have been an excellent student, with interests including poetry and recited speeches. info: Wikipedia
