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


Material and Technique
Carved from a conglomerate of lime-bound limestone. White in color, with semi-marble and mineral-pigment aged finishes. (No resin, no plaster.) The head is displayed on an iron stand with an enameled, rust-colored finish and texture.
Its finish evokes antiquity, like an original archaeological piece freshly unearthed from the past.

Versatility and Functionality of lime-bound stone, whose characteristics include hardness, beauty, and resistance to temperature changes.

Indoor and Outdoor Use
The combination of weight and durability allows it to be placed both indoors and outdoors. The lime-based material withstands humidity and temperature changes, improving its integrity and durability over time. (Eco-friendly lime-bound conglomerate, no resins, no chemical additives...)

Aesthetic Qualities
The beauty of the handcrafted finish, which emulates the texture of limestone, makes this piece an exceptional decorative element with original fidelity. Its sculptural presence brings timeless elegance and sophistication to any setting, adding distinction to your favorite space, cabinet, or commercial premises.


Authenticity and Provenance
The piece belongs to a collection from the specialized AST workshops, which produce museum-quality reproductions using traditional sculpting techniques and new technology, incorporating a new natural material made from recycled and eco-friendly aggregates.
We offer a unique opportunity to acquire a quality piece that combines the historical legacy of classical art with the durability and beauty of noble materials such as aged white limestone finished with lime.
